Some users using processors with Intel's Hyperthreading turned on have reported hangs that do not appear with Hyperthreading off. So far the Cygwin developers have not been able to reproduce this problem. See `http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg01100.html' and related messages for details.
This might get fixed someday, but meanwhile, just use rxvt, which does not have this problem. This is no real loss, because rxvt has many other advantages. (Do not attempt to use the "broken" pipe key (`¦') as a substitute, it is a different character.)
Win9x does not support the API used by the Cygwin fhandler_dev_tape class. Details at `http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00331.html'.
