Hello,
Some time ago I found that the Cygwin-64 "factor" command did not seem to terminate with certain numbers, eg try:
  -> echo '3401347*3861211*12099721' | bc | factor

The developers provided a fix (in GNU coreutils 8.29), however, after some two years I still find the faulty factor command in the current Cygwin distribution.
When are you planning to upgrade ?
Cheers, Bernd
PS I think this only affects 64bit version
