I get it...
"strace -o wish.strace -w bash -c /bin/wish84" reproduces the hang (after
about 1MB of log file).  My (naive) take on the relevant end of the log file
seems to show that wish84 is busy searching paths for a file without any
interesting error messages. However, about 1/3 through the attached file,
_cygwin_istext_for_stdio seems to report an error.  The last 100 lines of
the strace output are attached.
