See:

I keep hearing that the cygwin kernel is not thread safe yet but have
not heard anything on the status of that effort. Since all my software
that I would like to port is multi-threaded I would look forward to
hearing any status updates as to this effort. I signed up for the
pthreads-win32 email list a while back but never received anything from
it. I guess I will have to try again. :-}
