I guess you also needed to install more components of Cygwin for this to
work?  Or did you make a "full" install of it right away?  IIRC, they
exclude a lot of stuff by default.

This did not happen for me.  (And I did test would-be -jumbo-6 on Win32,
including an OpenMP build, before releasing.)

The hang sounds like the known Cygwin bug that I worked around last
year by binary-patching cygwin1.dll.

Can you try again with the binary-patched cygwin1.dll as included in
john179j5w.zip?

This is puzzling, especially "des".  Non-OpenMP build, right?

Is this reproducible?  With the exact same guess counts?

Can you see if the issue is new with j6 or if we had it in j5 as well?
For "des", if we had it in 1.7.9 proper as well?

Sounds like the known Cygwin bug again.  (Indeed, we never reported it
upstream, and it was never fixed there.)

Thanks again,
