Not really. Most Cygwin applications are multi-threaded. The above is
the output of one thread that's responsible for communicating with the
attached debugger -- it'll be the same for all applications, pretty much.
Use the 'info threads' command to see the list of all threads. Then use
the 'thread TID' command to switch to thread TID, and 'backtrace' to get a
backtrace for that thread.
See if any of the backtraces tell *you* something before posting all of
them to the list.

IMO, the best way to become an expert on something is to explore that
something with little initial knowledge. :-) Good luck!
