      // assumptions such as that the child process will have the same virtual
      // memory position as the parent and that nobody interferes in its
      // child-parent dance.
      //
      // This, however, doesn't always pan out: for reasons unknown Windows
      // sometimes decides to start the child somewhere else (or, as Cygwin
      // FAQ puts it: "sometimes Windows sets up a process environment that is
      // even more hostile to fork() than usual"). Also things like Windows
      // Defender (collectively called Big List Of Dodgy Apps/BLODA in Cygwin
      // speak) do interfere in all kinds of ways.
      //
      // We also observe another issue that seem related: if we run multiple
      // MSYS2-based applications in parallel (either from the same process
      // or from several processes), then they sometimes terminate abnormally
      // (but quietly, without printing any of the cygheap/fork diagnostics)
      // with status 0xC0000142 (STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED).
      //
      // Cygwin FAQ suggests the following potential solutions:
      //
      // 1. Restart the process hoping things will pan out next time around.
      //
      // 2. Eliminate/disable programs from BLODA (disabling Defender helps
      //    a lot but not entirely).
      //
      // 3. Apparently switching from 32 to 64-bit should help (less chance
      //    for address collisions).
      //
      // 4. Rebase all the Cygwin DLLs (this is a topic for a another episode).
      //
      // To add to this list, we also have our own remedy (which is not
      // generally applicable):
      //
      // 5. Make sure processes that you start don't need to fork. A good
      //    example would be tar that runs gz/bzip2/xz. Instead, we start and
      //    pipe them ourselves.
      //
      // So what's coming next is a hack that implements remedy #1: after
      // starting the process we wait a bit and check if it has terminated
      // with STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED (the assumption here is that if this
      // happens, it happens quickly). We then retry starting the process for
      // some time.
      //
      // One way to improve this implementation is to only do it for MSYS2-
      // based programs by checking (using EnumProcessModules()) if the
      // process loaded the msys-2.0.dll. With this improvement we can then
