Yes, I can.  I just compiled ([1]) the latest CVS cygwin0.dll (as of
today, 14:31 UTC), then tested with the new DLL ([2]).  I get the same
exact errors (including the stackdump).  Interestingly enough, I had other
unexplained exceptions with this test approach, so I'd appreciate if
anyone points out what's wrong with it.

[1] "cd build/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin && make clean all"
[2] "cd test && cygstart ./bash.exe" then run the above commands from
    the prompt, where "test" is a directory containing executables
    binary-edited to use cygwin0.dll instead of cygwin1.dll, confirmed by
    cygcheck.  Note that my build was configured with --enable-debugging.
