Hi all,
	I have a distributed unix application that I have ported with
gnu-win32.  The port consisted of recompiling.  However during runtime things
seem to lock up.  The application communicates to a server on another machine
using tcp/ip and spawns local processes to handle commands.  It communicates to
the local processes using socket_pair or in this case isuse the POSIX pipe
call.  I use select to multiplex the pipes and the network sockets.  It seems
to run in the debugger when I step it, however it hangs when I just try to run
it.

To spawn the child process, I open the socket(or pipe) pair and then do fork
and exec.  Are the file descriptors valid for the child process as in unix?  If
not then what do I need to do?

Thanks

Rick
