More observations:
* This also happens on a Windows 8.1 VDI install with a different
AV/security solution-- different enough from my machine that I don't
think the Windows/app environment is the cause of this, it looks more
strongly like a Cygwin issue to me.
*
<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pselect.html>
clearly states that select() must zero out all FD_SET bits when it
returns 0.
* Moving the mouse cursor around over the console window (at a bash
prompt, without mouse modes enabled) makes this issue happen *much* more
frequently.
I'd investigate further but on current Git sources, 'make' fails for me
with this:
/home/cgull/src/newlib-cygwin/newlib/libc/configure: line 2164: syntax
error near unexpected token `..'
/home/cgull/src/newlib-cygwin/newlib/libc/configure: line 2164:
`NEWLIB_CONFIGURE(..)'
