The crashes that were discussed in this thread were due to a bug in Cygwin's 
signal handling (64-bit only), and this was fixed several months ago.

My recollection from your earlier messages is that you had a somewhat unusual 
situation that I didn't quite understand, and you didn't reply when I asked for 
a detailed explanation.

If your situation involves X11 forwarding, you should make sure that you have 
the cygserver service running.  If that doesn't help, please start from scratch 
and make a complete, detailed bug report, with step-by-step instructions for 
reproducing your problem.

Ken
