This code is not working, return errno == 22 (EINVAL, I guess...)
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/sem.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main(int argc, char**argv)

        int provs = 100;

        int sfcbSem = -1;

        if ((sfcbSem = semget(semHandle, 2, IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL | 0600)) == -1)
        {
                printf("error semget, errno = %d\n", errno);

Do you have the cygserver service running? (See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README.)
