Cygwin specific Emacs problems should be discussed on cygwin@cygwin.com,

What are your problems ?
May be you did rebasing (especially rebase all) - it is known to
have a negative effect on Emacs.
I work with both Emacs 21.2 (distributed with Cygwin, prepared by
Joe Buehler) and Emacs 22.0.50 (updated from CVS and compiled on
2005-08-01), both in terminal mode and on X, and they work fine.
I am aware that there are some emacs problems with recent versions
of the Cygwin dll and looking at this is on my todo list. Various
things like a newborn and major layoffs at my place of employment
have made it difficult to do anything at the moment.
GNU emacs under Cygwin has been stable for quite a while, so my initial
take is that the problem is undoubtedly due to a change in the Cygwin
dll. Having spent lots and lots of hours tracking down various Cygwin
problems (mostly not emacs-port related) I am dreading having to look at
this particular problem. But like I said, it is on my todo list.
If you want a stable emacs at the moment, the best advice I can give
is to stick to older versions of the Cygwin dll until such time as I
can fix this. It's not a great situation, but normally one does not
have to debug the OS in order to maintain emacs!
