Nice analysis of the problem.
This seems to be the same problem that Volker Quetschke reported here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-08/msg01287.html
AFAIK, I fixed that yesterday:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-08/msg01287.html
FWIW, this doesn't fix the hang that *I* see, but I wouldn't have expected
it to because that code didn't exist in 1.5.18 and zsh still hangs in
1.5.18.
