Since my post I found a way to reproduce on
development the problem I have on production.
At some point cygserver hits 100%CPU and Postgres
backends are no more able to serve requests.
Now I must narrow the number of components involved,
to prove that the culprit is really this DLL.
As you suggest, it may be a mess with mem alloc.

Corina, any hint?
May I expect some useful info with log or debug
options to cygserver?
