Below I included parts of the diff between 1126 and 1129. You have been
refactoring the code related to "timing".

Above you state that the call to init() (clk_monotonic_t::init(), is my
understanding) from clk_monotonic_t::now() makes the cygwin1.dll end up
in "some mysterious loop" (my wording). At least on pre-W10 ...

Looking at the code (trying to understand it), it appears to me that it
is NOT "Windows version" dependent ...

My question: why do you claim in

     https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-11/msg00261.html

that Windows 10 is NOT affected? Does W10 run a different "thread" in
the Cygwin codebase?

Regards,
Henri
