Most people are using the -clipboard command-line parameter for XWin.exe now... which provides the functionality of xwinclip.exe running in a seperate thread in XWin.exe. I don't know that I will ever make any new releases of the stand-alone xwinclip.exe.
Thanks for the patch anyway,

I have found that xwinclip dies if I try to put it into the background:

Suspended msp-arjuno 399: bg [1] xwinclip & Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing.
The most likely reason is that the EINTR return from select() is not being ignored. This diff should fix it, but I do not have a development environment loaded:
