See attached -- I was concerned that the separate XP namespaces could
affect Cygwin itself. PostgreSQL's use of AF_UNIX sockets is the first
known case of this problem:

$ handle -a -p postgres | fgrep secret
364: Event \BaseNamedObjects\cygwin.local_socket.secret.54788.00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will work with the other
Cygwin developers to fix this problem and hopefully prevent others.
