Analyzing Cygwin code, it seems I have found the source of the problem (had no
time to confirm it running offending code though).

It's in the fhandler_base::set_inheritance() called from fhandler_base::set_close_on_exec().

DuplicateHandle()/CloseHandle() invalidates original system handle associated
with the Cygwin internal file descriptor (fd) while an operation on the fd is
possibly still in progress.
