cygipc (and PostgreSQL) XP problem resolved!

[Jason Tishler]

Chuck,

Thanks to help from Frank Seesink, I was able to finally figure out why
cygipc and in turn PostgreSQL failed to work properly under XP in
certain situations.  See the attached for some of the details.

In summary, invoking the XP Fast User Switching feature causes XP to
start using multiple kernel object namespaces instead of a single global
one.  This in turn causes cygipc clients to fail to find a global
semaphore (i.e., \BaseNamedObjects\MultiSemSem_) created by ipc-daemon
and abort.

Are you willing to accept a cygipc patch to correct this problem?

Thanks,
Jason
