1. Upgrade to 1.5.22 to avoid bugs that have already been fixed.
2. Simplify: don't run your compiled script, run the script (for testing).
3. If the script has the problem, debug with bashdb (bash debugger). Gdb is not
useful in your situation, non responsive programs and the whole system is a
Windows fault, the only thing you can do is run your program at low priority
(try `nice your-program`).
4. Monitor the computer with more detail. Since the problem only appears on 2
machines, it is likely that those 2 have resource problems not related to Cygwin
(number of files open, sockets open, paging, etc.)
