Thanks for the testcase.  I found the problem.  In 2.2.1 was a=20
use-after-free bug in the file locking code which I fixed in
2.3.0... just wrongly.  It fails to work in certain cases when
locking collisions occur.  I fixed this in the git repo.

I uploaded a new developer snapshot to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/
Please give it a try.

Uh, please don't do this.  This is a bug in Cygwin 2.3.0, and the right
fix is to release Cygwin 2.3.1 end of this week, not to change other
packages to workaround this bug.

> p.s. Thank you for Cygwin

Thanks :)
