Dear Cygwin Team,

 > I personally prefer releasing 3.5.6 ASAP

Indeed this is also my preference - if it can be fixed soon (say this week).

 > Can you please test latest cygwin 3.6.0 (TEST)

Even though I am using cygwin since many years, I can't say I understand 
how to apply a patch to the cygwin DLL itself or how to install a test 
or git main version of cygwin. In CI I run the cygwin setup program from 
the command line. As far as I know, one cannot select package versions 
on the command line. Obviously I cannot run the UI based cygwin setup on 
a headless CI server. So how would I install cygwin 3.6.0 or git main on 
a headless server?

If you point me to instructions on how to do this, I will be happy to 
run tests and and gather statistics. I should be able to gather 
statistics which allow to decide 98% if the issue is gone within 1 day 
and 99.9% in 2 days.

Best regards,

Michael
