The sleep(1) mod didn't work for me. I had a hung process within an hour
(processes run every 5 minutes). I'm going to try applying Anthony
Heading's patch, which was posted earlier this morning (Subject: PATCH/RFC:
Another stab at the Cygwin hang problem) to see if it works for me. I've
got nothing to lose at this point!
I had been questioning the wisdom of the whole kill/signal usage, myself,
but I'm certainly not experienced enough at this point to have a worthy
opinion in such matters... There's almost certainly a reason it was done
that way.
