1. Upgrade to 1.5.22 to avoid bugs that have already been fixed.

2. Simplify: don't run your compiled script, run the script (for testing).

3. If the script has the problem, debug with bashdb (bash debugger).  Gdb i=
s not
useful in your situation, non responsive programs and the whole system is a
Windows fault, the only thing you can do is run your program at low priority
(try `nice your-program`).

4. Monitor the computer with more detail.  Since the problem only appears o=
n 2
machines, it is likely that those 2 have resource problems not related to C=
ygwin
(number of files open, sockets open, paging, etc.)
