I experience a lock-up related to the XWin clipboard about
once a day. Windows applications that I tried to paste to
only continue after killing XWin (shutdown often doesn't work then).
I run nothing special (like gdb), just an xterm and Word or PowerPoint.
This is just to confirm your observation, I have no further analysis.
[I'm not sure if this mail makes it to the cygwin mailing list,
I'm not registered there and found your posting in the mail archive;
so maybe you can quote me there.]
