According to the Cygwin source code, yes.  According to the SUSv4
definition, no.  The timer used for the monotonic clock is inited
to 0 for each process, so while each process uses the same clock,
they all have their own monotonic value.  This is obviously not
how the monotonic system clock is supposed to work, so that's a bug
in Cygwin.

I fixed that in CVS.
