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