Unsubstantiated suggestions are not at all helpful. The last time I experimented with worker on cygwin, it failed to perform reliably at all - far less than 50% of requests were served successfully. Now, if you feel like testing and reporting back whether the situation has changed, _that_ would be helpful. (You'd also have to recompile APR with threading support - that's disabled in its configure script as supposedly being unreliable on Cygwin.)
