This is currently causing a deadlock in the google-perftools testing.

The fix has been committed to glibc 2.16 - http://cygwin.com/ml/libc-alpha/2012-01/msg00026.html

It would be great if either glibc could be upgraded to 2.16 or this patch applied to the version in quantal.

I have verified locally that this resolves the deadlock issue in google-perftools.
