And, that's part of the problem. The words "cygwin scheduling bug" make very little sense. Cygwin is not an OS which schedules things. There was also a mention of fifos, which doesn't make sense in a cygwin context. The bottom line is that I tend to ignore problems where the description makes no sense. It's a simple fact of life that we have to pick and choose what we do if we want to sleep 7 hours a night. Out of curiousity, have you tried the most recent cygwin snapshot? I'm wondering if "scheduling bug" translates into "emacs cygwin is using 100% of my CPU". That bug is supposed to be fixed in cygwin snapshots. cgf -- Please do not send me personal email with cygwin questions or observations.
