If that works in the snapshot anyway, I'm not going to look into that
one.

I think I found a solution for this problem. See the comment in the
patch at
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/thread.cc.diff?cvsroot=src&r1=1.258&r2=1.259
Please test the today's developer snapshot.

Confirmed. I think the reason is that we only have a single event to
signal that a POSIX signal arrived instead of a per-thread event, but
I'm not sure. This is cgf's domain so I leave it at that for now.
