Not exactly, but I'm suspecting a specific piece of code in Cygwin. The
problem is that I can't reproduce this problem. Using ssh to access other
machines works fine for me, high traffic is also no problem.
So, first step, could you please try the latest snapshot DLL from
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and see if the problem persists? If so,
we will have to do some debugging together.
