What about fixing the "Cygwin deadlocks due to broken select() when
writing to pipes" bug?

  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg01807.html

This has been biting us here, especially when using rsync over ssh,
and I do not think we are alone.

This is a clear deficiency in Cygwin, although not trivial to fix
(especially using documented Win32 pipe interfaces) or we would have
fixed it ourselves.
