I have another effect.  In my case the 20130430 snapshot does not
print the "Abort (core dumped)" message, but it still creates the
more or less empty stackdump file as above.  So, AFAICS, the crash
occured before, only you didn't see it.  With Cygwin 1.7.17,
I only get an "Abort" and an entirely empty stackdump.

Well, I'm not sure what's going on, but the crash supposedly occurs
in verifyable_object_isvalid in thread.cc.  This function is usually
called to check if a pthreads object is valid, and it's written so
that a SEGV is expected, catched, and converted to a specific return
code, usually.  Even with a debug-enabled Cygwin DLL I'm not able
to debug this further since python somehow doesn't run the same under
GDB.
