I have a vague recollection that this caused some other problem, but I'll have 
to review the email discussions from a few months ago.  I'm traveling at the 
moment and won't get to this for a few days.

In the meantime, could you explain (probably on cygwin-developers) why message 
mode causes the reported issue?  Also, does the problem occur only when there 
are non-Cygwin apps involved?

Thanks.

Ken
