Now that I'm retired, if I thought there were any point in figuring out 
why gcc test suite fails to kill the hung tests, I'd be happy to send 
any patch.  This comment appears to imply there is no point. Meanwhile, 
I go to Windows task manager and kill them manually, so they report XPASS.
My former employer permitted only employees with a job description 
including support of open source software to submit patches, even though 
we all had to take the annual quiz about GPL etc.  That employer has 
products which run under cygwin bash (not linked against cygwin1.dll), 
some so intended, more of them not.
