I have cygwin installed on a Windows 7 box. In that environment, I use vim heavily for code development. I have several small filter-like programs that I use during that process, piping vim buffer content to them and capturing their output in the usual vim way. I wrote these while using vim on UNIX systems, and they work fine there. When I try to use them under cygwin, they almost always fail, giving the following sort of error:

      1 [main] gvim 25276 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   6630 [main] gvim 25276 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to gvim.exe.stackdump

    258 [main] vim 39032 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x600, errno 11

 Cannot fork

Can anyone tell me what's going on here, and how to fix it?

Did you try rebasing cygwin? Some of the errors related to forking usually go away with this procedure.
