Duplicating cygwin fd's from parent to child is easy, since the cygwin dll knows all about them. But what about handles from Win32 APIs, ODBC handles, etc.? Does fork() dupe them into the child? If not, has that proven to be a significant problem for those of you building apps that mix cygwin calls with native Win32 calls?
