-Before running fio you'll need to have a copy of cygserver running. Run 
-"/usr/bin/cygserver-config" from an elevated Cygwin shell (i.e. launch the
-Cygwin shell under the Administrator account) to configure it. Once
-configured, run "net start cygserver" to start it, or type
-"/usr/sbin/cygserver &" in the Cygwin shell to start a local copy.

-If fio exits with the message "Bad system call" it normally means that
-Cygserver isn't running.
