After installing

http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20040213.dll.bz2

and running 

emacs --debug-init &

from an xterm, I am unable to open files using 'desktop' at startup.
On first desktop load, Emacs reports

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Doing vfork" "resource 
temporarily unavailable")

and the xterm reports

bash-2.05b$       7 [main] emacs 1920 sync_with_child: child 1152(0x270) 
died before initialization with status code 0x80

This error repeats on every emacs startup. I have not observed this
error on 1.5.7-1.
