TCP socket device not working on Cygwin

I installed your Cygwin build on a test machine (64-bit Windows 10) and am trying unsuccessfully to run an application that makes use of TCP socket devices. I also want to get our Serenji debugger/editor working with this GT.M instance, and that uses TCP socket devices to communicate with its client UI.

So I consulted http://tinco.pair.com/bhaskar/gtm/doc/books/pg/UNIX_manual/ch09s08.html#socket_device_examples, downloaded sockexamplemulti31.m from http://tinco.pair.com/bhaskar/gtm/doc/books/pg/UNIX_manual/sockexamplemulti31.m and tried running it:

$ $gtm_dist/mumps -r sockexamplemulti31
At MAY 16, 2016 13:37:55 waiting for server job 7116 & client job 6312
At MAY 16, 2016 13:37:58 waiting for server job 7116 & client job 6312
At MAY 16, 2016 13:38:01 waiting for server job 7116 & client job 6312
...

Unlike in the comments at the top of the routine (where there were only 12 "waiting" lines over a period of 33 seconds) this continued until I aborted the server job:

$ $gtm_dist/mupip stop 7116
STOP issued to process 7116

Then the output completed:

At MAY 16, 2016 13:40:48 waiting for server job 7116 & client job 6312

Server stderr:
%GTM-F-FORCEDHALT, Image HALTed by MUPIP STOP

Server stdout:
** tcpserver is getting ready to start.**

Client stderr:

Am I doing something wrong, or isn't the TCP socket device stuff working in the Cygwin port yet?

Cygwin start-up endless loop

We have a browser-based EPOS application that we have ported to cygwin + GTM.
Unfortunately, sometimes when the Windows 10 Professional PC is rebooted a cygwin startup window is opened and goes into an endless loop and the window does not close (see attached).
Fortunately, if you manually close the window and manually request the application start-up procedure in cygwin the application springs to life.
It make be related but we also get intermittent MUTEXERR errors, possibly linked to Jobbed processes and the system can freeze until rebooted or sometimes with manual rundowns. Once this has occurred trying to use ^%G to list a global after entering the global name may hang. Sometimes a global can be partially listed and the MUTEXERR error occurs before completely shown. We are investigating this but any pointers would be welcomed.
thanks.

transcode-open/apt-cyg repo unavailable, breaking the instructions in README.cygwin.md

The repo at https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg is unavailable because of a DMCA takedown notice (https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2016-01-26-apt-cyg.md)

Instead I ran this command in my admin-level Windows command shell:

c:\>choco install cyg-get

Then this to install the packages we need:

c:\>cyg-get wget git libelf0-devel zlib-devel libicu-devel libgpgme-devel libgpg-error-devel openssl-devel tcsh libncurses-devel gcc4-g++ gdb automake make flex bison libnettle-devel libnettle

This enabled me to proceed.
