Hi everyone.  First post here.  

I'm resurrecting this old thread to see if I can get a little more
information about what the problem is with Cygwin.  Nicholas, can you
please tell me anything more about this problem, or point me to any mailing
list discussions of it?  I looked around and found a mention of yours that
"tmux uses the SCM_RIGHTS OOB data mechanism to pass a file descriptor". Is
that the issue?

The reason I ask is that I'd like to engage the Cygwin developers and see
if there's any possibility of working through or around this.  If there is
I'd be willing to package tmux for Cygwin.  libevent builds in Cygwin with
no problem.

Thanks,
Andrew.
