Some additional info on another 64 bit Windows running on a  Corei7:
* no problem with Cygwin 32 up-to-date.
* with Cygwin 64, i first tested with the old 1.7.22 which was installed 
and got "ImportError: This platform lacks a functioning sem_open 
implementation, therefore, the required synchronization primitives needed 
will not function, see issue 3770." when issuing "p = Pool(2)"; then 
updated (to 1.7.25 as well as all packages) and got the "ValueError" as 
originally reported.

Best,
JP
