Yes, and this is where the Cygwin archives come in handy. If there are  
users running Cygwin on lots of machines, they are likely to run into  
problems once in a while, and they're likely to use the list for  
reporting these problems. If Cygwin was as instable as you apparently  
suspect, you'd find plenty of reports in the archives. I haven't  
noticed any such large-scale reports about instabilities in several  
years of lurking on this list, but your thorough perusal of the  
archives may well prove me wrong.

regards,
Markus
