Well... I got the same problem... but only when trying to useit with X11 (i.e. emacs --no-windows works inside the terminal, but emacs with $DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 or :0.0 locks on startup with 100% cpu usage). I got TERM=linux in console and TERM=xterm in X, but there seems to make no difference to emacs.
Another thing... it only started to behave like this when I updated from cygwin.dll with some 14 in it's version to the 15 version, the login program and some x2x (I didn't quite pay attention at the moment, but thinking back...) I saw someone doing a "strace -w -o strace.log emacs", so i did this too; the output on the window was: 98385063 [win] emacs 1632 sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, signal 1 4, rc 258, Win32 error 0 The tail of the 9 mb strace.log was: 176 38384669 [sig] emacs 1632 wait_sig: Got signal 14 167 38384836 [sig] emacs 1632 sig_handle: signal 14 200 38385036 [sig] emacs 1632 sig_handle: signal 14, about to call 0x201240A4 172 38385208 [sig] emacs 1632 setup_handler: suspending mainthread 225 38385433 [win] emacs 1632 sig_send: Waiting for thiscomplete 0xC4 250 38385683 [sig] emacs 1632 interruptible: pc 0x77F96D34, h 0x77F80000, inte rruptible 1, testvalid 1 59999380 98385063 [win] emacs 1632 sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed, signal 14, rc 258, Win32 error 0 732 98385795 [win] emacs 1632 sig_send: returning -1 from sending signal 14 184 98385979 [win] emacs 1632 kill_worker: -1 = sig_send, Win32 error 0 277 98386256 [win] emacs 1632 kill_worker: -1 = kill_worker (1632, 14) I can also send you the full log if necessary.
