By "that problem" do you mean a fork failure? I don't think it could be related
to the timerfd issues unless you're using an emacs that you built yourself or
installed from my personal Cygwin repo. The emacs in the Cygwin distro was
built before Cygwin supported the timerfd functions and so it doesn't try to use
them.
