Might I ask whether there are any fixes or remaining known problems with signals being lost on multi-processor machines? The much reported 'rsync hangs' bug (search for those words in the mail-archive if interested) I hunted down last month to SIGUSR2 being issued by one half of an rsync fork but not received by the other. The bug is apparently still there - frustratingly intermittent, I can't now reproduce it myself with the latest cygwin release, but a colleague of mine is seeing it about 50% of the time. However we've only ever hit the problem on dual processor boxes. I'm happy to keep exploring, but there have been no responses by any of the cygwin experts to the bug reports, so I'm not clear whether cygwin is simply not expected to handle signals reliably on a dual processor box, or whether simply not enough information has been given.
