"pgbench -i -s 50; pgbench -S -j2 -c16 -T900 -P5" freezes consistently on
Cygwin 2.2.1 and Cygwin 2.6.0. (I suspect most other versions are affected.)
I've pinged[1] the Cygwin bug thread with some additional detail. If a Cygwin
buildfarm member starts using --enable-tap-tests, you may see failures in the
pgbench test suite. (lorikeet used --enable-tap-tests from 2017-03-18 to
2017-03-20, but it failed before reaching the pgbench test suite.) Curious
that "make check" has too little concurrency to see more effects from this.

Frozen backends show a stack trace like this:

The postmaster, also frozen, shows a stack trace like this:

The postmaster log eventually has:
