Thank you very much for the simple testcases. I have located an invalid
racy optimisation in cygwin's internal lock handling that leads to a deadlock
owing to unmatched lock acquire/releases, and posted a patch combining that
with the fix for the previous deadlock at:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2009-q2/msg00068.html
(As before, I could send you a DLL with the fix compiled in off-list for
testing if you like.)
cheers,
DaveK
