No, I can reproduce it consistently on my Windows 7 system, running 
1.7.22, on both 32-bit and 64-bit.  It also just happened to me while 
running emacs.  This is not reproducible, but it was previously reported 
by another user:

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00198.html

On 64-bit, the output is

$ ./openmp-test.exe
I'm an openmp thread...
