The main change was that we stopped using Win32 Overlapped I/O 
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sync/synchronization-and-overlapped-input-and-output) 
and switched to using the NT API.  As a result, pipe I/O became much more 
efficient.  It wouldn't surprise me if the efficiency alone is what exposed the bug.

The good news is that the bug doesn't seem to occur in XEmacs 21.4 (on 32-bit 
Cygwin).  So one way to approach this would be to bisect the XEmacs git repo to 
find the commit that introduced the bug.  You'd probably have to do the work on 
32-bit Cygwin since, if I remember correctly, XEmacs 21.4 didn't build on 64-bit 
Cygwin.
