FWIW, I can get this to reproduce in some form on my HT box. For me, it
hangs as described by Chuck McDevitt in
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-04/msg00215.html>. On my relatively
slow dual processor without HT (933MHz PIII), I also see the same results.
At this point, my input is little more than a "me too" report but since I
did say I'd try to reproduce it over the weekend, I wanted to provide the
feedback for those that might be waiting for it. I plan to make an attempt
to debug this as time permits but I wouldn't let this statement persuade
someone from providing Chris or Corinna with a machine so they could look
at it.
