What the heck.  The 0308 snapshot was supposed to fix these hangs as
described in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-03/msg00160.html

Are you sure it was the 0308 snapshot and not by any chance the 0306 one?

I can't reproduce this with 0308.  I'm typing lots and lots in emacs,
doing copy/paste with the mouse, and it just works with 0308.

Install the cygwin1.dbg file into /bin and When Emacs hangs, attach with
gdb and print the backtrace of each thread.  That should give a hint.

Can you please test the 0308 snapshot with stock emacs, too?

Ken, any chance you could test this as well?  If there really are still
hangs with current emacs and the 0308 snapshot, I might need a bit of
help.  Some kind of reproducer or some input as to the nature of the
hangs would be nice.


Thanks,
Corinna
