Are you running the ipcdaemon process? At one time
the cygipc libraries required the ipcdaemon process
to manage the global objects. I thought I read something
that the ipc-daemon is going away, and being incorporated
into the cygwin architecture, but I did not gather that it had
happened yet. That may be a misunderstanding on my
part however.
I spent some time in the guts of the cygipc code, and think I tracked
it down -- nothing was keeping the semaphore handles open but client
processes, so when they all exited, the semaphore went away.
I just posted a patch to fix this -- the ipc-daemon process now
keeps semaphores open as long as they are supposed to exist.
