Guys, no offense meant, but I'd really appreciate if you could peruse
and refer to the original upstream Cygwin repo at
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=3Dnewlib-cygwin.git
This is what we're talking about in the first place so I'd like to stick
to this, ok?

Ah, ok. What OS does Wine emulate here? Have a look at
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=3Dnewlib-cygwin.git;a=3Dblob;f=3Dwinsup/cygwi=
n/cygthread.cc;h=3De48a73e545e7ca90884fc891f1b188e0ab3bf863;hb=3DHEAD#l316
The terminate_thread_frees_stack flag is set to false for XP/2003 and to
true for any newer OS. I guess this is a double-free because Wine's
TerminateThread already freed the stack and Cygwin got the info it's
supposedly running under XP/2003, so it tries to workaround the fact
that TerminateThread on these systems didn't free the stack by themselves.

I don't think this is the right thing to do. It's a hack covering
the problem that TerminateThread should not free the thread stack
if we're running an XP/2003 emulation.
If my assumption here is incorrect, we need to know what address
ret=3D61005767 is refering to. addr2line would help.
