And, that's part of the problem.  The words "cygwin scheduling bug" make
very little sense.  Cygwin is not an OS which schedules things.  There
was also a mention of fifos, which doesn't make sense in a cygwin
context.

The bottom line is that I tend to ignore problems where the description
makes no sense.  It's a simple fact of life that we have to pick and
choose what we do if we want to sleep 7 hours a night.

Out of curiousity, have you tried the most recent cygwin snapshot?  I'm
wondering if "scheduling bug" translates into "emacs cygwin is using
100% of my CPU".  That bug is supposed to be fixed in cygwin snapshots.
