I'm attaching a new test program that demonstrates the regression.  My previous
test program created sixteen processes that each picked a random semaphore to
lock.  Now, each process picks two semaphores and locks them in order.  This
proceeds smoothly on GNU/Linux and on cygwin-20170321.tar.xz "cygserver -r 40".
It freezes within one second on cygwin-20170324.tar.xz "cygserver -r 40".
