This is another long-standing problem, but there's an easy fix, which
I'll send in a second message. (I want to wait until I have a bug
number so that I can make a proper ChangeLog entry.)
The test for the file name " foo\tbar baz\t" hangs on Cygwin, because
Cygwin interprets the backslash as a Windows path separator; see the
section "Forbidden characters in filenames" in
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html. Here's an
example outside of emacs:
$ touch "foo\tbar"
touch: cannot touch =E2=80=98foo\\tbar=E2=80=99: No such file or directory
I'll send a patch shortly.

The patch is attached. I can't actually test it on the current HEAD,
because Bug#20117 causes the test to abort immediately. But I tested
an equivalent patch on revision 5d9b1e100.
Looks good to me, pls install. Maybe you could also add a comment that
"\t" is not expanded to <TAB> on cygwin and windows-nt systems. And
maybe it is the same for Android, I'll check.
Done as commit a961dce; closing.
