It shouldn’t.

However, you cannot expect any cross-process mechanisms to work correctly across that boundary like pipes, shared memory, and other forms of IPC that don’t map 1:1 to native Windows mechanisms.

(So, TCP/IP will be compatible across the boundary, since both MKS and Cygwin implement BSD sockets in terms of Winsock.)

Almost certainly not: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18333049
