Well.... Programs compiled with Cygwin are Windows programs, so another 
Windows program can easily grab it's stdin, stdout and stderr...

As you pointed, your problems come with DJGPP binaries... Because
std{in,out,err} can't be redirected as easily as Windows progs.

As a result, your program can't send any output to the web server, and
can't accept any input... It's useless...
