(I'm in digest mode on this list so I can't thread my response easily.)

The cygserver is setup to run as a Windows service.  As far as I can tell the 
cygserver is running when the error occurs.   What isn't clear from your 
response is what causes the named pipe to cygserver to get created?  What 
tears it down?    

In my test the sequence of each Send/Receive/Reply message pass involves these 
steps:  
1) the sender creates the shared memory and then attaches to for the purpose 
of writing a message.    
2) The receiver gets passed the shmid (via a named pipe) and attaches for the 
purpose of reading the message.   
3) The receiver will respond by writing into same shared memory area upon 
which it will detach.

I have a script which is repeatedly sending a 1k message (up to 10 times).  
The error isn't consistently happening but when it does it appears to happen 
on the first message pass.

Thanks again in advance for all your help.

error = 2 is the Win32 error ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND returned by the
CreateFile or WaitNamedPipe function when trying to connect to cygserver
via a named pipe.

Either Cygserver isn't running or it reached the maximum number of 
parallel client connections.
