Hmm, sounds like Corinna's patch to set_file_pointers_for_exec:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2007-q2/msg00026.html
obeys POSIX but interferes with Windows. It looks like when fd has O_APPEND
set, that function will need to make a decision of whether the child being
execed is non-cygwin, in which case it should seek to the end for the benefit
of the child app.
