A couple years ago I had an idea for changing the pipe implementation to avoid 
overlapped I/O:

   https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-patches/2019q2/009393.html
   https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-patches/2019q2/009423.html

I never followed up on it.  But if you think it might help with this problem, I 
could dust it off and try to finish it.
