I've done a little more looking (very little..) and see that the
ipc-daemon has a loop in ipc-daemon.c that looks like


    while(1)
       {
        usleep(300000) ;
        ....
            ....

I still don't know exactly what the ipc-daemon _does_, but I'm wondering if
cygwin usleep() somehow granularizes to 0 in some cases..

Does anyone has any feeling what the consequences would be in changing that
usleep to a "sleep(1)"
