I'm having the same problem that is described at

  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00195.html

I'm surprised that it was reported in 2004 -- I use cygwin on several
machines with no problems, it's only a new one that is having the
above symptom.

(Which is related to saving/loading the history file -- `fc -R foo'
and `fc -W foo' also hang.  Using strace, it looks like the problem is
some kind of an infinite loop that is related to a lock file for the
history file.)
