Yes, sshd is running as a service, but I'm not sure that patch is 
relevant. In my case, the problematic pipe that the hanging conhost.exe 
is waiting on is probably created for that specific conhost.exe process 
within the process tree rooted at "make", which runs as an ordinary 
user. Also, wouldn't the hang be deterministic if the problem were in 
the pipe ownership?
