It could possibly be a hardware issue (computer heats up
when processor is seeing full use) triggered by a software
condition (processor is seeing more use than otherwise, 
possibly because of the number of processes running or 
something).  What happens if you run something that is
not cygwin-related but is CPU intensive, like a raytracer?  
What happens if you start a bash prompt (with nothing much
else running) and then just let it sit there with no
activity for a few minutes?
