No, but it forks itself to create that "USB daemon".  This is a simple
way (well, on Unix :) to implement the multithreading that is
essentially required to handle the USB communication on one side, and
run the normal AVaRICE application on the other side.

So it depends on Cygwin's emulation of fork().

But hey, that's certainly the wrong list now. ;-)
