I used to predictably get it any time I ran 'perl -de 0' so I suspected
that it had something to to with Perl::ReadLine or Perl::ReadKey, i.e.,
http://gentoo-portage.com/dev-lang/perl/bugs
I can't trip it regularly anymore after the above update but I am fairly
certain that I see it every so often at random times. I really wasn't
thinking of this as fodder for a cygwin problem when it happened so I
wasn't paying too much attention.
OTOH, I could be wrong, since I just noticed YA update for malloc. It
doesn't seem like the changes in malloc 2.8.2 would have fixed this
problem but a new version of cygwin1.dll is available, regardless.
