I was trying out some rebuilds to separate temporary from permanent failures and sorted out the chocolatey related cygwin-x86 failures (meanwhile disabled).

So... the winners are

Commit c0a04eae was hanging the mingw builds (build 423)

Commit d5899699 was hanging one of the VS builds (build 454) 

Any hint at where/why these hang?  Why not at APS as well?  Troubleshooting stuck tests in CI is hard enough on Linux.  I have no idea how to start on Windows.

Commit 966965c2 was breaking all Windows builds (build 455)

I'm planning to look into this one today.  Looks like all the tests which read files.
