Well, here is a simple test case, but turns out I wasn't using the
latest version. I was having the problem on 1.5.12, I haven't been
able to get a good build with cygwin 1.5.17-1. It builds and I can run
the install script, but when I put the dll in place I see the message
"cygheap magic number mismatch detected", and gcc doesn't want to work.
I followed the instructions on the FAQ page for building cygwin. Also
the only line that I changed was in winsup/cygwin/include/pthread.h,
line 56
from
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
to
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
On the unmodified cygwin 1.5.17, the parent lock returns 45 (EDEADLK)

I'm trying to use pthread in cygwin, and I'm expecting the function
pthread_mutex_lock to block when used. However it is returning
error
45 (EDEADLK). I'm using a static initializer for the thread so
the
mutex is type PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT.
When I look through the pthread code I see that
PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
is set to PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK,
When I do the same on linux or soloris, the pthread_mutex_lock
blocks,
and looking in the pthread.h file on those systems see that the
default is set to PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
Why is cygwin using PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK as the default? And
what
problems might occur if PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT is set to
PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL?
Why not just try it and report the results?
Done. Hangs at WaitForSingleObject.
Can you provide a STC(tm) (simple test case) which demonstrates the
problem both with and without PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK?
