Matt, Unfortunately, the best solution at this point is the one outlined in <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00236.html> (the bug Allen mentioned has been fixed, so my original proposal of using cygwin_internal should also work). You should then be able to use GetThreadContext to retrieve the context.
