Same here, just a busy-arrow, no other hang. I notice that if you call the Win32 version of Sleep() (capital S) instead of Cygwin's sleep() there's no busy-arrow. Also, a MinGW version of the program doesn't show the busy-arrow either. So there is something in particular about the Cygwin implementation of sleep(), which is really just a wrapper around nanosleep(), which itself really just calls cancelable_wait(), which in turn relies on WaitForMultipleObjects() with a delay.
