Best guess is that it is still this problem:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2004-q3/msg00079.html

(see subsequent discussion for why this wasn't a real solution)

which, AFAIK, remains as a problem today.

The latest snapshot just increases the size of a pipe buffer.  So, it
isn't a real fix, just a workaround.  There is still a problem lurking
there but fixing it isn't trivial.
