dmake freezes on new cygwin

Hi list,

I'm doing my first 2.0 beta Windows build, on the m113 code, using 
Windows XP Professional. I started out using 1.5.18 of the cygwin dll. 
After I ran configure and bootstrap, succesfully, I would run dmake, and 
it would freeze. I found that if I would redirect the output to a file, 
dmake would run a little longer , and then would freeze. Ultimately, I 
tried downgrading the cygwin DLL, first to 1.5.17 (which didn't help), 
and then to a 1.5.14 which I got from another machine. With 1.5.14, I 
was able to run a complete build. Even though I now have a succesful 
build, I'm not pleased with this state of affairs, since newer version 
of some cygwin tools (like bash) don't run with the old DLL.

I notice Issue 25037 which describes dmake freezing under cygwin, but 
that was supposed to have been fixed in cygwin 1.5.8.

Is everyone out there who's building on Windows using an old cygwin? Has 
anyone else had this problem?

TIA,
