Petar,
Between Cygwin1.dll version 1.3.17 and 1.3.18, changes were made to the
manner in which I/O to and from pipes is handled. It improved the
behavior of some CD recording software. This had the unfortunate
side-effect of introducing very long delays to pipe I/O whenever there
was any CPU demand, regardless of how low a priority the CPU-demanding
process or thread was assigned.
Preliminary reports from those using snapshots of the pre-1.3.19
release indicate the problem has been solved. In the mean-time, either
shut down SETI AT home, install 1.3.17 of the cygwin package, avoid using
pipes in Cygwin or work on your patience.
