I just learned about ssh multiplexing and tried to set it up (Cygwin client to Debian server), but it fails to work and each attempt leaves a zombie ssh process.

According to the ssh -vvv debug output, authentication is successful but then fails during setup of the control master with

    mm_receive_fd: no message header
    mux_master_process_new_session: failed to receive fd 0 from client

I found a StackOverflow post from over a decade ago indicating the problem is that Cygwin doesn't support file descriptor passing via unix-domain sockets. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20959792

Is it still true that ssh multiplexing is not available in Cygwin, or is there a way to make it work?
