But there is a cygwin process running somewhere.  Otherwise you wouldn't be
getting this error.  This indicates that cygwin's shared memory is
already initialized, which wouldn't be the case if you run 'uname' from
the command prompt as the only cygwin process on the system.

The last resort is rebooting if nothing else works.
