I've been recently plagued with a "resource temporarily unavailable"
(a.k.a. EBUSY) fork problem (on WinXP), with 1.5.18, snapshots, and
self-build DLLs. I don't know if it's related to what you're seeing.
The problem doesn't seem to be reproducible under gdb, but can be
reproduced under strace for long-running scripts. I hereby repeat my plea
to Cygwin developers for debugging suggestions -- what information would
be useful to put into the strace to help (me) track down the source of
this problem?
