Ok, I have attached another Cygwin DLL for your consumption.  If the cause
of this problem is what I suspect, this DLL should solve your problem,

BUT

it will print annoying messages to the console, containing a text as
"res and ret = 0, nonblocking = 1".

I'll send the URL of the DLL in private mail in a minute.

Not officially.  This isn't quite the way we should go.  I'd rather
catch the problem in the current sources.
