In 2.5.5-2 I added a small patch (don't remember the author, see the included README) that adds a sleepms(30) to try to avoid a (possible?) bug in signaling between parent and child in Cygwin. Some heavy user say that also with that sleepms(30) they sometime hang and that sleepms(100) "relsolved" that better, but this degrades performances. The imminent 2.5.6 adds a cache in the network stream that shuold help and some other fixes (not by me).
