On second thought, adjusting Cygwin's behaviour to Linux here is rather
trivial.  I applied a patch to the git repo and uploaded new developer
snapshots (2015-04-12) to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/
You only have to replace the DLL itself, cygserver is not affected by
this patch.  Please give it a try.


Thanks,
