I am encountering sporadic segmentation faults from tools like ls and
find.  Specifically, I was invoking find as a child process from Cygwin
XEmacs, and it was getting a segmentation fault at different locations
in my (somewhat deep) directory structure.

After this started to occur, I started an rxvt window and when to the
top of the directory structure and did an 'ls'.  This also caused a
segmentation fault.

This does not happen all the time, even for that directory.  Reverting
back to 1.3.17 corrected the problem.

I will be happy to provide any additional information if instructions
for collecting the information is provided.
