But you can also change cygrunsrv to create a thread via pthread_create and

That's not the way to go, IMO. It requires *all* Cygwin applications
written to be started under SCM to be rewritten.
Right. I've been working hard to keep cygwin functional with cygrunsrv
and SCM. In fact, I think I've removed the requirement that inetd has
to fork a process after it calls SCM so that signals are delivered properly.
Since this is a breaking of backwards compatibility we won't even consider
changing applications.
I've read the rest of the thread and know that there is a patch ready but I
wanted to get these thoughts into the archive.
