I think that I have a chance of 1 in 500 before I get the same problem, and this is with a program which forks several subprocesses and enters a loop with ticks of 1 s for waiting on finished processes and launching another one. I think it is more an error in the operating system, which may get worse by running on AMD.

Sorry but this is not a "now try this" type of debugging activity. It would require quite a bit of effort to track this problem down. As I've said before, it would require physical access to a 64 bit system. -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
