+- Fix hang when calling pthread_testcancel in a canceled thread.
+ Fixes some of: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00186.html
+</1.7.16>
+
+This should fix the first part of the reported problem in the above
+message. The cancel seemed to actually be working but, the fprintf
+eventually ended up calling pthread_testcancel. Since we'd gotten here
+via a cancel, it tried to recursively call the cancel handler causing a
+recursive loop.
