Unless you are actually familiar with cygwin internals, posting strace
logs or even strace snippets is probably worthless in the majority of
the cases.  There is nothing in the above code which indicates that
anything is wrong.

It would really be wonderful to have someone actually debugging this
problem rather than speculating on what they think might be wrong and
sending YA snippet of normal strace logs to the list.

Ah.  I can dream, can't I?
