Are there are any special repro steps? Just build httptunnel, slide Cygnal under it and do what? 

Note that there are weird issues when you run Cygnal programs from within Cygwin. Like when the parent process of a Cygnal application is Cygwin. 

That's a bit of a downside of Cygnal, but it doesn't show up if we ship a program to users that don't do anything with Cygwin. 

Users working with Cygwin would have almost no reason to use a "Cygnalized" httptunnel. Or any other program that we built with Cygwin; they can be shipped that program as a Cygwin program. 

When testing a Cygnalized program, we have to make sure to eliminate interactions with Cygwin, though.
