Sorry, but I still can't reproduce it. Again, more than 1000 iterations
on my W7 box.
Just to be really sure I ran this on a Vista SP2 machine, like you, with
Cygwin 1.7.0-57 and the latest bash, svn and ssh packages available from
the 1.7 release area OOTB. >1500 iterations, no problem. 
If I were you, I'd definitely try to investigate if there isn't some
software on your machine acting as BLODA. The strace looks suspicious.
