Good catch!

The problem here was that this functionality is very Cygwin centric.  It
tries to call into the process itself to fetch the information.

E.g, assuming you have some /proc/1234, it tries to fetch the information
by sending a request to process 1234 and then waits for that process
setting a semaphore.  A non-Cygwin process will obviously fail to do so,
not knowing about the method at all.

I fixed that in the Cygwin git repo and it seems to work much better now
to run native tools inside tmux with this change.

I'll upload a developer snapshot on https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ later
today.


Thanks,
Corinna
