Brooks, I do remember seeing a lot of reports about 6 months or so ago, that Unison was hanging. My recollection is dim but I think it had to do with some bad combination of versions of cygwin.dll and Unison. Are you using the latest cygwin.dll on your servers? uname -sr returns

I don't think there is any need to patch tcltk, as I believe the bug has already been fixed in more recent versions than the one supplied with Cygwin. So a simple recompile for Cygwin should do. Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor expertise to do so. Nor do you have sufficient good
