FWIW, I can get this to reproduce in some form on my HT box.  For me, it 
hangs as described by Chuck McDevitt in 
<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-04/msg00215.html>.  On my relatively
slow dual processor without HT (933MHz PIII), I also see the same results.  
At this point, my input is little more than a "me too" report but since I 
did say I'd try to reproduce it over the weekend, I wanted to provide the 
feedback for those that might be waiting for it.  I plan to make an attempt 
to debug this as time permits but I wouldn't let this statement persuade
someone from providing Chris or Corinna with a machine so they could look 
at it.
