Just my 2ct - but could it be you did not start ipc-daemon? It's not in the
standard
cygwin distrib (one should bang the heads of these guys - to distribute a
program
and not even mentioning (e.g in the postinstall scripts) that you need to
get cygipc
from somewhere else!).

Just search for cygipc on the net - I use 1.11 (I think), and it works
fine. Without
ipc-daemon running in the bg, you get exactly the reported behaviour!

Greetings,
Joerg
