Thank you.  Please let me know when you do, so that I can
check the relevant snapshot out.

Incidentally, have you been able to confirm the dead-locking
that I reported earlier (below)?  I just ran the patched cygserver
with the "-d -l 7" arguments, along with my test case, and both
dead-locked just as before.
