Sadly, my test program still hangs when running with an msys2-runtime with that patch applied. I cannot say where exactly it hangs, just that the mintty I call from a GUI program spawns a thread that seems to wait until something times out. I won't be able to investigate this during the next week, but I could put more effort into shedding more light into the problem in the second or third week of June.
