Solved: Still trouble with IPC

[Frank Wübbeling]

Looking at the cygwin sources, I realized that any access to cygserver is
disabled unless I explicitly export CYGWIN="server=1". Doing this
immediately solved my problems. Weird. Since cygserver is now the default
IPC code, shouldn't the default for allow_server be "yes"?
