It's me who made the patch. Yutaka Tanida also provided a patch
for cygipc library to prevent lock freezing by changing the
implementation of semaphore.
These patches are necessary to prevent freezing in cygwin port.   
If there's no objection,I would add a new ipc.patch provided by 
Yutaka into src/win32 and commit the patch for README.NT
for current tree.
