As Corinna said:  If you are mixing Windows calls with cygwin calls you
are far into unsupported territory.  Cygwin isn't designed to let you
seamlessly intermix things like pthreads/signals and the Windows API
functions.

If you can demonstrate a problem with pure Cygwin calls then go ahead
and post a test case.  Otherwise, I don't see this as an issue that
needs to be addressed.
