I don't know what this has to do with the longjmp, but the thread
which gets crated right after pressing Ctrl-G is due to a select or
poll call. The descriptor is a pipe, fifo, or pty.

The problem with stackdumps is that the addresses only make sense
for a single version of the Cygwin DLL. If that's a self-built
version, what does `addr2line -e /bin/cygwin1.dll 610CFA77' print?
If it's 1.7.15, please install the cygwin-debug package and call
the same addr2line.
I assume the address corresponds to select.cc, line 625, but I'm
quite busy with the pthread_cancel stuff, so I didn't look deeper
into this problem.

^^^^^^^
Yes, that's exactly the created thread. Do you happen to know what
kind of descriptor has been given to select at this point? Is that
a pty master side perhaps?
