Multi Threaded programs deadlock doing simple I/O operations

["Mark Pizzolato" <list-cygwin at subscriptions dot pizzolato dot net>]

There is a serious problem for multi threaded programs doing simple I/O 
operations in cygwin (open, dup, fdopen, fclose, and close).

The attached 81 line test program clearly demonstrates the issue (by hanging 
and no longer consuming CPU or performing any I/O operations).

I'm sure that anyone who ever encountered a stange hang in any program 
running under cygwin would appreciate a fix for this issue.
