There are two possible more, IMO, correct fixes for this.  1) Find out why GetModuleFileName
is hanging or 2) protect the function in cygwin which is blocking in a system DLL
with a 'sigframe thisframe (mainthread);'

This code used to have a test just like this.  It was changed to *use* GetModuleFileName.
