Every few seconds a new pipe and thread pop up. All the old threads seem to be stuck in:

Hmm... Error 995 is ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED. This could mean
something is blocking/killing it. I don't use tmux locally on a
personal basis so while we wait for someone that does to see if the
issue is reproducible for them can you please *attach* a cygcheck.out
for your system and also check your system for BLODA just in case?
