Sometime ago there were problems with signal handling and threads in cygwin. The main issue was that signal handling was not occurring properly when threads were running and when a signal was fired the signal handler would not relinquish control properly back to whatever was control the threads in this case cygwins thread pool. As far as I know the snapshot from the 31st of Jan 04 has resolved those issue. As for "processes" thats another issue altogether.
Thanks for the info, I'll try it after the current try to reproduce the problem.
