Unfortunately, this sort of thing is _way_ beyond my abilities. I don't know
the first thing about Unix programming.
But I'm puzzled -- if this is a bona fide leak in the Cygwin stuff, then why
isn't there a major effort to eliminate it? I don't think what I'm using the
Cygwin bash shell for is all that out of the ordinary ...
