This relates to a bug in my copy of cygwin, which jams when the PID
goes over about 36800.  With a script, this can easily happen in less
than 10 minutes, like during a build.

How high can your PID go before you jam cygwin?  You will have to
reboot to use cygwin after jamming it.


The PIDs don't grow monotonically.  They are reused by design (Windows,
so does Cygwin).  I'm running your script for over 45 minutes now
(>15000 iterations).  I don't get any PID >= 5000.

I assume something's wrong with your box.

I ran it for more than 10000 iterations and never got a pid over 3700.
