AFAIK, Brian hasn't modified anyuthing in cygipc -- at least, he hasn't 
sent the patches to me.  So, I suspect his workaround exists within his 
own program's code, and he chose to workaround the bug within the 
context of using cygipc shared memory, rather than in a "pure" 
cygwin1.dll context.  Big deal -- it's still a workaround.  The Right 
Thing(tm) is to fix the bug in cygwin (then I'll gladly copy the fix 
into cygipc...)

However, I don't understand the bug, so I certainly can't provide The 
Right Thing.  Sorry. :-(
