Maybe this will help. My sequence of actions: In an elevated cmd.exe, from Cygwin's /bin: cygrunsrv.exe -I cygserver -x /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe -a "-d -l 7" cygrunsrv.exe -S cygserver In a regular cmd.exe: a.exe (this is my testcase that locks/unlocks the semaphores). It never gets past iteration 1000. Also, if I start cygserver just as a regular process (not as a background thing), so that it logs right to the window, it does not lock up.
