This simply indicates that the printf is not atomic. The Opengroup spec
for printf does not indicate atomicity as a requirement. It's certainly
not a 'thread switching bug' - thread scheduling is handled via Win32.
It *might* be an issue in newlib, or in the cygwin console fd handler,
neither of which I've checked yet.
Can you see whether you can reproduce the behaviour when writing to a
file, not to stdout? (If you are not using fprintf now, start by trying
with fprintf (stdout,...)). Let me know via the list whether you can
make this happen with a standard file/console with fprintf and we'll
take it from there,
