RE: Malloc hang


Snapshots do not have debugging enabled.  I was suggesting it because 
the current snapshots are close to the next version to be released
and it makes sense to see if your problem is resolved there or not.
If you still see a problem, then the next step would be to build a 
debug version of the cygwin DLL.  See the FAQ entry:

How do I rebuild the tools on my NT box?
