my suspect so far is pthread_getspecific() on the Cygwin platform. Seems they 
have issues with it. And keep in mind that the gwlib/thread.c uses 
gwthread_self() also in the mutex_foonbar() calls, hence we bang.

I can have a cywin specific gwlib/gwthread-pthread-cygwin.c that avoids the 
tsd_key usage and hence avoids pthread_[get|set]specific() void* data for 
threads and stores the corresponding threadinfo records to a global (and hence 
self-locked) table.
