I saw the same issue building another program on W7/64


I noticed that it happens on very high loaded machine so I doubt it
will be easily reproducible.

Could this be the same Program Compatibility Assistant problem that was discussed in


http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-12/msg00058.html ?

If so, there might be improvement in recent snapshots as a result of the following change:

2011-12-07 Corinna Vinschen <xxx@xxx>

	* spawn.cc (child_info_spawn::worker): Add CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB
	to all spawned processes.  Explain why.
