Matt,

Unfortunately, the best solution at this point is the one outlined in
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00236.html> (the bug Allen
mentioned has been fixed, so my original proposal of using cygwin_internal
should also work).  You should then be able to use GetThreadContext to
retrieve the context.
