Cygwin supports the O_PATH flag starting with release 3.0.0, but it is buggy 
until release 3.0.8.  (Opening a FIFO with O_PATH causes a hang.)  The attached 
patches work around this problem.  The first patch (which still has a bug 
number 
that needs to be filled in) uses incorrect indentation for legibility.  The 
second patch fixes the indentation.

It's simpler to just disable O_PATH on Cygwin until the old Cygwin versions die out. Also, there's a similar issue in fileio.c. I installed the attached, which should work around the problem in both source files.
