I guess this is my excuse to roll a new version of Cygwin.  Since Corinna
doesn't include the .dbg file in her releases, I can't decode the stack
traces from the attached .stackdump files.

Or, hmm.  It guess it would be better if I released a snapshot before a
new release.

Could you try to duplicate this with today's snapshot from:

http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

I'm generating it now.  Please wait for the September 1 snapshot to
show up before trying anything.
