Summary: Cygwin32 builds threads, but they hang

Initial Comment:
Recent cygwin32 install.  recent descr-branch 
checkout.  Windows 98 system.

Python compiles with thread support.  However, 
'test_asynchat' and 'test_thread*' hang.

Workaround: configure --without-threads

It is a bug, but assigning it to me was futile.  Unassigned 
again but reduced priority.

Let's either close the bug report as Not A Bug or try to fix
threads in Cygwin.

The README file already says Cygwin has to be built via

    configure --with-threads=no

This has nothing to do with descr-branch.  Unassigned this 
bug, pending a Cygwin expert to deal with it.

Jeff, please read the README file before rediscovering all 
the other things already known not to work <wink>.
