I've installed the newest snapshot and recompiled the test case, but it
still hangs on my system. I'm sorry for interfering with your release.
Is there any further information I could provide to solve this issue?

Just to be sure:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 zoppo 1.7.18s(0.263/5/3) 20130329 13:18:55 i686 Cygwin

My installation of Windows runs in a virtual machine. Could this maybe
influence the race conditions? I've noticed that the resolutions I get
with clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, ...); are quite coarse (a few
milliseconds!) in comparison to my Linux system (nanoseconds), or is
this a general Cygwin thing?

Best regards,
Andreas
