Gladly, I just need to know what to do. I'm not a developer, just a 
lowly SysAdmin so I may need some hand holding.

Yes, I think that this was included in my initial Email. strace produces 
  no output. I have tried attaching to a running/hung one as well as 
running:
strace sh -c TEST=`uname -s`
Both produced nothing, I suspect that the hang is actually happening 
outside of the sh that I create in the latter.

Please provide along with instructions of what to do.

I'll have to think about this one. I'd like to get involved in some open 
source projects, but I personally don't use Cygwin all that much. In 
fact it is pretty rare for me to use Windows so my overall interest in 
this project is more superficial than substantially personal.
