Sharing zsh history in cygwin.

Anyone managed to share command line history between running zsh's in
latest cygwin's?
In old times I have done it, unfortunetaly bad tracking when I lost
it. (Cywgin & zsh 4.2) (think it works with Linux-compiled zsh,
doublechecking)
Mainly my sharing is decided by:
# History
###################################
# IncAppendHistory for sharing between shells.. NOW..
setopt HISTIGNOREDUPS HISTIGNORESPACE EXTENDED_HISTORY
setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY SHARE_HISTORY
HISTSIZE=300
SAVEHIST=300
HISTFILE=~/.history
The last line, HISTFILE, freezes the cygwin-distributed zsh
(4.2.0) just after reading the config-files. Removing just that line
creates a bunch of .history-XXX files.
On cygwin I configured (by setting "named FIFOs to work" to false) and
compiled zsh 4.2.3, but it doesn't seem to share the history.
Anyone who have been messing with the history as I do?
