Actually, I still do believe it's the same problem. In some other mails
I specified it happens also on single CPU machines. I think other people
have been able to reproduce it as well. The fact I expose it in a loop
is because the hang is random. It also sometimes happen in a non-loop
environment. I suspect a nasty race condition which depends heavily on
the system scheduling, so in your case the same problem might happen
every time.
In any case, I tried my small test case with zsh too, same result : hang
after a few iterations.

Antoine,
I'm sorry, you're probably correct.
Everybody,
Some new information I got today. I found another user on our campus
that is having the problem on two different machines, but not a third.
All of them running Windows XP. So far every machine I have seen it on
is running XP and is a recent new install of Cygwin. Does anybody think
that they could get closer to a solution if I were to provide you with a
machine to play with remotely where the problem happens every time?
Also, Is this the only place for bug reporting for Cygwin? I can't find
any actual bug database like bugzilla to get this officially reported.
