That's not the issue. I cannot provide a little test app to produce the problem at will.Since nobody else is reporting this problem, it seems pretty unlikely that anyone else is going to be able to do it for you.
In that case the P clearly EBKAC.As for the patch, that's useless - I'm not going to try to learn how to build the Cygwin DLL.
However, if anyone can suggest some other simple, non-labor-intensive method for gathering more data on this problem, I'd be willing to give it a try.Sounds like your best bet is to sit there and do nothing. Yep, that's it. Thats's *bound* to get the bug fixed. Why, surely sooner or later someone else will have the same bug and fix it for you? All you have to do is just sit there and wait. If you get bored watching the tumbleweed roll past, you could always read

to pass the time.
While I generally agree with the sentiment, in this case, I don't think it would be productive to attempt a build of the DLL until I've verified that I can't reproduce the problem with the supplied scripts.
And, I really don't think it's a good idea to start supposing reasons for the hang yet unless someone wants to actually look at the differences between the snapshots and propose a theory based on the that.
I looked at the differences and I think the problem is due to one of them. Yep, no doubt about it. There's got to be a change in there that's the cause of this problem.
