Also configure cygwin with "--enable-debugging" and you can set the CYGWIN_SLEEP
environment variable to some number of milliseconds (like 10000).  This will
cause every cygwin application to wait for that number of milliseconds, printing
its pid.  You can then attach gdb to the pid.

You'll have to set CYGWIN_SLEEP as a global environment variable.  Setting it in
.profile or .bashrc probably won't work.
