The more moving parts, the more things there are to break.
Postulate that you have a program that's been audited to the point that
you're absolutely certain it's 100% secure when run on Linux.
Then you port it to Cygwin. Is it secure?

Just one way it could fail is if there is a buffer overflow in the
implementation of one of Cygwin's interfaces, and your 100% secure
program calls it. It's then only a matter of time for a

the best way for you would be to throw Windows out and use a

I have tried to contact Red Hat but they did not seem interested in
