cygrunsrv definitely stays running when I start gmond.  It stops 
immediately after the execve call - it thinks the process has stopped, 
but in fact a new gmond is running with a new Windows PID.  I am using 
the -x option to cygrunsrv and the -f (foreground) and -p (pidfile) 
options to gmond.  Which PID does cygrunsrv look for?
