When operating ranger in Cygwin, as I preview files in the last pane, I am coming into problems where the window overlay occasionally displays an error like :

25076474 [main] python 4808 C:\cygwin\bin\python.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap \\?\C:\cygwin\lib\python2.6\lib-dynload\select.dll to same address as parent: 0x2D0000 != 0x3D0000
tags 25090441 [main] python 5876 fork: child 4808 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11

The command window at the bottom of ranger states:

file descriptor out of range in select()

or

[Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable

About 1 out of every 4 views will actually show a preview, the rest will show an error. I figure this is just some issue with Cygwin, but wanted to post an issue just in case.
