I've encountered a crash that might be related.   I had previously been having 
occasional crashes/hangs of cat.exe over the years, but this is the first time 
I've ever gotten an error message:

cygwin error: 0 [fifo_reader] cat 11398 C:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe: *** fatal  error 
- Can't add a client handler, Win32 error 123

cat here is reading from a fifo created with mkfifo.

I've only encountered it once (out of daily runs over the last couple weeks) 
and don't know how to replicate it.   Possibly a race?    Looks like my script 
has tried to mitigate this with a sleep 1 between the mkfifo and the fork: cat 
< $fifo &

I only encounter this issue on Cygwin (it has always worked fine without the 
sleep on Linux and MacOS).
