Hi Cygwin users, I noticed a regression in the recent Python packages: Between version 3.6.10-1 and 3.6.12-2, accessing the SSH agent via the paramiko python package broke. When a ssh agent is used, paramiko tries to connect to it via the unix socket and just freezes. Python 3.8 is also affected, but I don't know which was the last working one. I was able to pinpoint that error to 3.6.12-socketmodule.patch [1]. Reverting/removing the patch fixes the ssh agent access. A few weeks ago there was a discussion regarding "Problems with native Unix domain sockets on Win 10/2019", but it seems unrelated as the cygwin1.dll from [2] does not work for me.
Can you please check if you are able to reproduce that? I uploaded a script [3] for that.
