This unit test is part of Gnulib. Really, it is a pity that none of the
Cygwin maintainers is running the Gnulib tests before making a new Cygwin

We once discussed necessity of the test suite for cygwin before.
Do you think the test cases of Gnulib appropriate for the purpose?
1. SUS (Single UNIX Standard) has a conformance test suite, which
covers a VAST amount of tests. Maybe that can be used, as Corinna
works at Redhat, which has access to the test suite?
2. bash has a test suite, which currently (Cygwin 3.6.0, 27 Dec 2024) does hang
3. ksh93/AST has a test suite, which also hangs with Cygwin 3.6
4. stressng has lots of tests which currently fail with Cygwin 3.6
Test cases or suites which hang are not so useful, as those can not be used in a
CI, or diagnosed, until someone has time to manually dig into the issue, and the
few volunteers with such experience have limited time to do so. See below!
Failures are good: please report the details of each as a Simple Test Case which
reproduces the failure, and allows volunteers to diagnose the cause.
