Can that be relied upon?  chroot is a system call on Unix and Linux, 
which is how it can ensure that the process doesn't step outside the 
box.  Is there a comparable feature in the Windows kernel that provides 
the same feature?  Lacking that, all a determined hacker would have to 
do when attacking a buffer overrun bug is make their injected code first 
attack the cygwin1.dll before doing whatever nefarious task they want to do.
