Hmm, that's unfortunate. I tried on another different machine, still
can't reproduce.

I'll get it to retry a few times if the fork error is encountered, but I
do wonder why it's happening at all. I've always seemed to have
intermittent Fork errors with Cygwin but I've never managed to pin down
exactly why it happens.

I'll update the packages with some error handling for that issue, and
some debugging code so we can see in more detail what's going wrong.
