> You don't have space (or quota) issues on your hard disk by any chance?

Nope, no quota whatsoever.  Yes, the file grows big but there is plenty of free space on the disk.
The machine is pretty slow, though, a dual-core thing.  There's definitely another case of a race
(the point of lock-up is never the same), but luckily it affects only the cygserver running in the verbose
mode (so maybe, there is a FILE* sync thing -- a side effect of the active logging).
