Unfortunately the problem that I reported already for the 3.1.0 release
persists.  When starting mintty from a desktop shortcut as I usually do,
it hangs while consuming one CPU.

My previous workaround no longer works interestingly enough, so starting
mintty from a Cygwin shell started in cmd via cygwin.bat now _also_
hangs in the same way.  As before, starting any non-Cygwin program like
cmd or strace with the mintty shortcut works correctly and mintty
doesn't hang.

The new workaround is to start a mintty with cmd inside, then from this
cmd run the command that I'd usually invoke via the desktop shortcut
(i.e another mintty with my login shell).  That works and I can then
work in that mintty without any problems (and close the first one).

This _only_ happens on my work laptop (Windows Enterprise 1803).

It doesn't happen on a system with Windows Server 2016 (that's 1607 I
think) nor does it happen on Windows Pro 1909 or Windows Home 8.1.



Regards,
Achim.
