What release are you using exactly?
In 2.5.5-2 I added a small patch (don't remember the author, see the 
included README) that adds a sleepms(30) to try to avoid a (possible?) 
bug in signaling between parent and child in Cygwin.
Some heavy user say that also with that sleepms(30) they sometime hang 
and that sleepms(100) "relsolved" that better, but this degrades 
performances.

The imminent 2.5.6 adds a cache in the network stream that shuold help 
and some other fixes (not by me).
