Your test program fails for me on Linux too.  Here's the output from one run:

child 657
657     error:  6       No such device or address
child 658
child 659
658659  error:  child 660
parent
child 661
         error:  66606661 661 661
                 error:          661
No such device or address6No such device or address

No such device or address

[I then killed it with control-C; the parent was blocked trying to open the FIFO.]

There's a race condition in your code.  The parent is trying to open the FIFO 
for reading (without O_NONBLOCK) while the child is trying to open it for 
writing (with O_NONBLOCK).  The parent is blocked waiting for the child, and the 
child's open fails with ENXIO; see

   https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/open.html#tag_16_357

I think you need to rearrange things so that the FIFO is open for reading before 
you try a nonblocking open for writing.

I can work around the race by using a small positive 'wait' in 
fhandler_fifo::wait(), but I'm not sure this is the right thing to do, since 
Cygwin aims to emulate Linux.  Can you find a test case that works on Linux but 
fails on Cygwin?
