So, rather than saying "I wonder why Cygwin would hang when a thread is
injected?" the conclusion is that "Cygwin behavior which is incompatible
with the Windows API" and the fix is to "thread injection gracefully".

I don't see what more there is to say on the subject.  Clearly with just
a little more grace, Cygwin's problems would be solved.
