vfork issues almost always indicate a need to do a full rebase.  See

   https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures .

Or switch from 32-bit Cygwin to 64-bit Cygwin, where such problems are 
extremely rare.

Cygwin's emacs uses GTK+ because that's the default for an emacs build 
on all unix-like platforms.  But I'll think about adding an emacs-lucid 
package for the next emacs release.  It would be good to know how much 
demand there is for this.  Are there other emacs-X11 users who would 
prefer the Lucid toolkit?
