So this brings us to Cygwin. When we spawn such a Windows mode app from Cygwin, the method I describe above fails. The call to _open_osfhandle(info.hStdOutput, _O_TEXT) returns with an error value of -1. This is likely why jam reports "the handle is invalid".
PS. It would be interesting to find out why this fails. I would have expected that Cygwin/bash would have spawned the child process such that the inherited hStdOutput handle was open-able with _open_osfhandle().
