(1) Keeping asymptote 2.88-1, I tested with packages rolled back:

Package                Version        Status
cygwin                 3.4.10-1       OK
cygwin-debuginfo       3.4.10-1       OK
dash                   0.5.12-2       OK
libunistring-debuginfo 1.1-1          OK
libunistring-devel     1.1-1          OK
libunistring5          1.1-1          OK
tar                    1.35-1         OK

uname -svrmo 
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22631 3.4.10-1.x86_64 2023-11-29 12:12 UTC x86_64 Cygwin

Then, `HOME=/tmp asy -vv -f pdf test` hanged.
But, asy invoked by gdb did not hang...

(2) asymptote 2.85-1 with same packages
(ignoring warning about texlive 2024):

Then, `HOME=/tmp asy -vv -f pdf test` hanged.
But, asy invoked by gdb did not hang...

(3) asymptote 2.85-1 with packages (latest except asymptote)
(ignoring warning about texlive 2024):

Package                Version          Status
asymptote              2.85-1         OK
cygwin                 3.5.3-1        OK
cygwin-debuginfo       3.5.3-1        OK
dash                   0.5.12-5       OK
libunistring-debuginfo 1.2-1          OK
libunistring-devel     1.2-1          OK
libunistring5          1.2-1          OK
tar                    1.35-2         OK

CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22631 3.5.3-1.x86_64 2024-04-03 17:25 UTC x86_64 Cygwin

Then, `HOME=/tmp asy -vv -f pdf test` hanged.
And, asy invoked by gdb got a siganl SIGTRAP and stopped.




Rolling back cygwin packages has almost no effect.
Very weird... 

Now, I suspect any recent Windows Update might have to do with the issue...
(just because no other idea comes to me).
Not confirmed
