As usual, new OS versions are supposed to be supported around the
time they are officially released.

I have 2K8 RC1 installed myself and I see these strange hangs, too.
There are at least three different types of hangs when running a Cygwin
process.  None of these hangs occur with non-Cygwin processes, nor do
they occur in Vista (not even in the SP1 RC1 version).  Strange enough,
these hangs occur when calling OS functions and these OS functions are
taking the CPU time, apparently.  At this point in time I hope this is
just one tiny bug in RC1 which will be fixed.
