Actually I've written a small test program on the problematic cygwin machine that seems to show that the EAGAIN is somehow related to pipes (e.g. stdout & stuff) and does not occur when fd refers to a file. I will test this for read() as well but I don't know enough cygwin internals to tell what other versions may be affected. It might even be related to 32/64 bit or different Windows versions since I didn't test more constellations.
