The last time I looked at the cygwin source, which was several years ago,
they accomplished fork by doing, IIRC:

        p=CreateProcess(this exe,NO_THREAD)
        for (my entire address space) {
                WriteProcessMem(p,ReadProcessMem(me));
        }
        t=CreateThread(other process);

IOW, not COW. I don't know if this has been fixed but lack of COW
semantics makes simulated-fork a non-starter.
