       __small_sprintf (buf, "cygwin.find.console.%d", myself->pid);
       SetConsoleTitle (buf);
-      Sleep (40);
-      console = FindWindow (NULL, buf);
+      for (int times = 0; times < 25 && console == NULL; times++)
+           {
+                 Sleep (40);
+          console = FindWindow (NULL, buf);
+           }
       SetConsoleTitle (oldtitle);
       Sleep (40);
       ReleaseMutex (title_mutex);

Is the SetConsoleTitle really succeeding when the window doesn't exist
yet?  That seems really broken to me but I guess that not too surprising.

I'm just wondering if we should be looping on the SetConsoleTitle rather
than the FindWindow.
