Sigh. Finally built a debuggable cygwin from current CVS. Here's the
stacktrace from the SIGSEGV.

The problem seems to occur deep in the innards of Doug Lea's malloc (in
the "mALLOc()" function -- although that's hard to see from the
stacktrace above since cygwin itself was compiled with
-fomit-frame-pointer). There HAS been a change in this file (malloc.cc)
since May 1, 2002...most significantly, on Sep 18 it was updated to
version 2.7.2 from 2.7.1 -- but that wasn't much of a change.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to look at this again until this
weekend -- and the first thing I'll have to do is read the docs on Lea's
site about how his malloc is *supposed* to work. Talk about your black
magic...
