Hi,

I'm using the execve call in a UNIX program (which works successfully),
and now I am testing it with Cygwin.

The program is using execve as a way to restart itself after receiving
SIGHUP.

The child process started by execve seems to be unable to work properly,
I observe various errors:
- DNS lookups fail
- binding to UDP sockets fails

Furthermore, I would like the process to become a service started by
cygrunsrv.  Is it safe to use execve in a process started by cygrunsrv?
Are there any issues to be aware of, or suggestions on how to proceed?

Regards,

Daniel
