Why not try to debug it your self?
Have you tried to strace it?
Can you get a stack trace of the hang in gdb? Note: You may need a debug version of the cygwin1.dll or shell for this to be valid. I will provide the former if you are willing to test it.
FWIW here's a link to a previous message of mine in which I give a full stack(s) trace(s) of both parent and child processes.

I'm sorry I can't do much more since this problem occurs only randomly on my machine(s).
