I ran into the fork() problem when trying to make X11r6.3 work on
cygwin. Mainly when it comes to Window Managers... they all start
programs by fork()ing a shell to run them. Needless to say, when you use
the Window Manager to run something, all you see is an exeception error
on the console, and nothing happens :(.... Have to wait until someone
works the fork() problem out I guess...
