Unsubstantiated suggestions are not at all helpful.


The last time I experimented with worker on cygwin, it failed to perform
reliably at all - far less than 50% of requests were served successfully.


Now, if you feel like testing and reporting back whether the situation
has changed, _that_ would be helpful.

(You'd also have to recompile APR with threading support - that's
disabled in its configure script as supposedly being unreliable on Cygwin.)
