I'm reluctant to rely on cygwin-stream-specific patches because I know
that other people compile it from source too.  Probably the msleep should
be put in for Cygwin only with an ifdef though, or the waiting of the
child removed altogether on Cygwin only.

I know that some people still experience it, and I don't think anything
has changed in that area since the time that the person who experienced
the hang discovered the hack.
