bash hangs when executing a very particular config.status script.

Repeat-By:
==========

./config.status

or

sh -x ./config.status 2>&1 | tee config.status.xlog

I cannot reproduce this on RHEL or macOS using both bash-5.2.37 and
bash-5.3.3. I don't have or use cygwin; I recommend you open a bug
report with the Cygwin developers.
