The message I pointed to <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00472.html>
says this:

  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.

I interpreted this to mean "the existence of the bug is confirmed,
here's why the bug occurs, and I'll let cgf deal with it".
I didn't see any followup message where cgf (is that you?)
dealt with it.  My apologies if I misinterpreted the email.
