In case anyone keeeps track, I have been seeing the
same frequent crashes of EMACS on CYGWIN 1.5.7.1
that "Ehud Karni" <ehud at unix dot mvs dot co dot il>
and "Charles Plager" <cplager+cygwin at physics dot ucla dot edu>
have already reported to this list.
Grepping further:
Thomas L Roche <tlroche <AT> us.ibm.com>
Dr.. Volkmer Zell
all seem to report similar problems.
As do many other people.
It is highly likely that my problem is the
same as those guys report.

At this point, I am just piling on.
Sorry if you consider such an additional
problem report a waste of bandwidth;
myself, as a software developer I consider
bug reports gold; even duplicate bug reports
serve to show that a problem is widespread.
(How often have you heard developers say
"oh, that bug hardly ever occurs"
when they have filtered out hundreds
of duplicate bug reports?)

It is unlikely that my configuration
adds much helpful info, since others
have posted far more detail. Let me briefly
summarize:
cygwin installed fresh as of yesterday,
feb 17, 2004, from ftp.nas.nasa.gov server.
cygwin 1.5.7.1
emacs 21.2.12
XFree86 -base 4.3.0-1
-bin 4.3.0-1
-xserv ...-44
emacs crashes occur both multiwindow,
and in the single big X window (startx default).
