I have a problem with this testcase. Cygwin is not working the same
here as Linux, but your testcase doesn't seem to work as expected on
Linux either. I tested your testcase on three different Linux versions
and the output is always the same:
$ ./cygwin-pthread-bug

This output doesn't look very reliable. On Cygwin, at least recursion 0
works fine ;}
I'm not overly fluent with pthread usage, but if you can provide a
testcase which actually works OOTB on Linux and only shows a problem
on Cygwin, I'll have another look.
