Cygwin b20.1 is not thread safe, and so you simply cannot expect 
this to work. It may work by accident, but it's not designed for it
yet.

There is experimental threading support in newer development
snapshots (you have to build it with --enable-threads); so if 
you're looking for thread support, you should work with one
of the dev snapshots.

Mumit
