I doubt anybody has ever tried what you did.  I have been testing getclip and 
putclip between 32- and 64-bit environments, but neglected to test Cygwin-internal 
clipboard format that prepends cygcb_t to the user-supplied data.  So getclip and 
putclip will need fixing as well.

I will submit a Cygwin patch to fix /dev/clipboard usage and a similar patch to 
cygutils for the utilities.

I appreciate your help in uncovering and investigating bugs in clipboard support.
Thanks & Regards,

..mark
