No bash freeze on my PC also within lftp.
The only main differences I noticed between my system
and Nate's one are:

Windows Vista Home Premium Ver 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2
vs
Windows 7 Professional N Ver 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1

and a relative long path

Path:   C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
         C:\cygwin\bin
         C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live
         C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution
         C:\Windows\system32
         C:\Windows

- latest snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
- a stream line PATH
