103+ Yutaka Tanida [yutaka@marin.or.jp] and I have examined IPC
104+ library.
105+
106+ We found that postmaster doesn't call exec() after fork() since v6.4.
107+
108+ The value of static/extern variables which cygipc library holds may
109+ be different from their initial values when postmaster fork()s child
110+ backend processes.
111+
112+ I made the following patch for cygipc library on trial.
113+ This patch was effective for Yutaka's test case.
114+
115+ Regards.
