OK. Just wanted to know.

Right.

$ grep 2348 part2.strace | wc -l
    203

 Wow! :-}  you're taking time off? ;-)

To be more serious:
In hope to make it easier to find where in the strace 'the hang' occurs;

 I did 'the hang' once more, and copied the strace-file before killing
cygpath...

NOTE: The contents of this strace DIFFERS slightly from the previous one.
Therefore a new version of strace output. (checked w 'tr -s | cut -f7- >
diff -y' )

<at hang>
$ cat part2.strace >part2.strace-at-hang

<after killing cygpath>
$ mv part2.strace part2.strace-full

$ wc -l part2.strace-full
   1296 part2.strace-full

$ tail +1038 part2.strace-full >part2.strace-after-hang

$ wc -l part2.strace-at-hang part2.strace-after-hang
   1037 part2.strace-at-hang
    259 part2.strace-after-hang
   1296 total

$ grep -i cygpath part2.strace-full | tail -2
  667  678603 [main] bash 2372 spawn_guts: null_app_name 0
(C:\Program\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe, C:\Program\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe -A -P)
14072  733251 [main] bash 2372 spawn_guts: 2372 = spawn_guts
(/usr/bin/cygpath, C:\Program\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe -A -P)

i.e. cygpath PID was 2372 this time.

$ grep -i 2372 part2.strace-full | wc -l
    203
