my main program 'mpsvcd.exe' dynamically loads a shared library using
dlopen(). one of the functions from this shared library calls popen() to
read the standard output from another executable - and this fails with the
error messages listed below! using system() instead of popen() to start
the executable works fine, except that i can't read it's standard output.
what's the difference between using popen() and system() here?
under linux popen() works also! 

any hints?

some more infos:
my main program and the shared library are built with cygwin, while
the called executable is a Win32 exe file.

error output:
C:\cygwin\opt\topcall\bin\mpsvcd.exe (1340): *** unable to remap
