spawnve() problem

It looks like I am having a problem with spawnve(). Compiling
the AT&T ksh93 to use spawn instead of fork/exec improves performance,
but unfortunately Cygwin's spawnve() implementation appears to
reset signal handlers to default values in the new process.
This can cause shell script malfunctions -- signals that should
be ignored instead cause process termination.
Am I correct?
Any chance of changing this behavior so SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN are inherited?
