Subject: Add hyperthreading issues to "Known Problems" section of the FAQ

Hi,

It would have saved me some irritation over the last few days if the Cygwin FAQ 
mentioned that there are some unresolved issues with running on hyperthreaded 
processors.

The first thing I did when I encountered problems was check the FAQ - since 
hyperthreading wasn't mentioned, I initially assumed the problem had to be 
somewhere else. It was only when I circled back to Cygwin and hyperthreading via 
a general Google search that I turned up some relevant messages in the list archive.

Unfortunately, I don't have a system to give CGF or spare cash to buy him one - 
but the FAQ would be a more accessible place to mention *that* proposed deal, too :)

(It may be this is in the works already, as happened with the FAQ update for 
Windows usernames with space. If that's the case, then obviously this message 
can be safely ignored)

Regards,
Nick.

P.S. I'm not a subscriber, so please cc' me on any replies
