Threads are disabled on Cygwin? Known bug, or just not verified to work?

APR thread support is currently disabled for Cygwin.

When enabled, it builds fine, and basic things built on top of it seem to
work OK.

Are threads disabled on Cygwin because of a known bug, or simply because no
one was sure Cygwin's pthreads were good enough?

No, but I recently built httpd with prefork MPM, so I should be able to get a worker build done OK.

Is there a stress test you can recommend, once I have done this?

I found that commit, I was wondering whether anyone could elaborate.

I'll try building the worker-httpd, and see what results I get.

The acid test is usually whether an httpd built with the worker MPM
works properly, have you tried that?

It was done on request from Stipe, it seems:
