I haven't tested extensively, but I think that this just works during
nameserver lookup. The windows ports (including mingw) use _WINDOWS_NSL
instead of the NSL_FORK code.
For an example of a connection that always hangs try:
"gopher://rs.internic.net/1". I can cancel the attempt in the DJGPP
port, but not in Cygwin or MingW. I can also cancel using an old Linux
version of lynx (haven't tried a current version).

Not for as long as I was willing to wait.
