Well, a colleague is handling that. The feedback sent to her however was that:
- Cygwin is not a Windows product
- We should WSL instead
- Cygwin might make use private Windows apis
- We should run this by the "Cygwin company"

It is my turn now to provide a kernel stack trace to prove them wrong
- IF I can manage to make one. That's why I am asking for help here.

HELP!
