Did you compile your sample program with the -mno-cygwin flag or
with a non-cygwin compiler ?
I'm asking because this problem reminds me of an issue I reported
last year (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02224.html)
and which is still unresolved (actually, I don't think that
anyone really paid attention to my report ;-).

Anyway, running cygwin and non-cygwin binaries of your
sample program using rsh gives interesting results:

$ rsh localhost main_cygwin
stdout
$ rsh localhost main_nocygwin
stderr
