Not sure what Pavel meant by "sort of".
I find that Emacs will start spinning at various places. Maybe how
long it takes to trip up, depends on what version of emacs.exe and/or
cygwin1.dll. I even failed to get it to spin once.
When it spins, attach with strace and you see the signal loop that
we've been reporting recently.
Maybe Pavel could get it to "sort of work" (not work, but also not
consume 100% cpu?) and attach with strace to confirm the symptoms.

David
