Yes.

Actually can you tell me - the if (forked) below only runs in spawned
cygwin process's ? If so I've got a few bugs to fix.. 

Rob


void
MTinterface::Init (int forked)
...
  if (forked)
    return;

  /* shm areas a inherited when forking */
  shm_head = NULL;
  /* possible the atfork lists should be inited here as well */

  mainthread.win32_obj_id = myself->hProcess;
  mainthread.setThreadIdtoCurrent ();
  /* store the main thread's self pointer */
  TlsSetValue (thread_self_dwTlsIndex, &mainthread);
