I'm saying that i'll try this sort of thing, since this failed
with the snapshot 20120314. I tried this morning, and definitely yes,
the '(badjob)' is rather easy to obtain, but now i know that this is
a (well known) tcsh problem (see BUGS in the tcsh distribution), and
has nothing to do with cygwin1.dll. When you finally kill the process
that tcsh has lost, everything returns in order.
I also compiled GCC 4.7.0 successfully with no message.
In any case, with this snapshot 20120321 16h UTC, i was not able to
make the PC hang (i tried it). In my opinion this is the best 1.7 we
have ever had.

Denis Excoffier.
