Meaning that: even if I'm only a Cygwin user, and I'm sometimes disappointed by how slow it is, too, I'm sort of convinced there isn't a cheaper way to get all the required information.

I've spent time looking at ReactOS sources trying to see if they would provide any insight into how Windows does things. It's possible, maybe even likely, that there are things that could be done to speed up Cygwin but I don't think it's likely that they include using simple Windows API stuff like the suggested GetFileAttributes() or limiting Cygwin's POSIXness. And, if speed ups do exist, they definitely do not require a private audience with me or Corinna. The best place to discuss improvements is actually the cygwin-developers mailing list.

This looks like an internal error in Cygwin which runs out of TLS

occurs.

PERLDB_OPTS is only for the perl debugger, which you don't run I suppose.
Corinna wanted a strace for perl, around the section where the fork
fails. It must not be the whole 2GB.
To build a debugging perl you'd need the source package and run
./build --debug
But this won't be needed I suppose, as it's a cygwin error around fork.
Looking at out.txt, the output around the crash is below. It seems to
come after exec($cmd). It looks like it can't spawn a new process.
