I am testing with applying 0001, 0002 and 0003 patches against
main branch for three hang issues,
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2024-November/256744.html
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2024-December/256954.html
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2024-December/256987.html
that could be reproduced in my environment related to the patch:
"Cygwin: signal: Fix deadlock between main thread and sig thread"
 
I haven't seen any hangs in the tree test cases repeatedly running
for more than 12 hours so far.
