What does Task Manager say about CPU usage when you get a hang?  Sometimes
'rm -r' will go into an infinite loop if it tries to remove an open file.
I am running a local patch to work around this.

You can download gdb and attach to a hung process and dump the stacks for
the various threads -- it would be interesting info.

See also the web page on debugging Cygwin problems -- there is standard
info that people on this list want to see.
