It sounds very serious. I am a very interested user of git on Cygwin
and I'm watching this thread with interest. However....

We are using WinXP 32-bit and have not seen this problem (yet). It
would be really helpful (to me at least) to know whether you can
reproduce the issue with 32-bit Windows...

I imagine there are a fair number of people using git in Cygwin
because the Windows alternatives (msys, etc) do not provide a
POSIX-like toolchain environment. Using Cygwin also allows scripts
around git to operate on Linux with no modifications. That is why we
use Cygwin anyway, and Cygwin + git is very important to us, FWIW.
