Karl, you might want to try reverting to the previous version of 
libharfbuzz0 and libfreetype6. I'm running into problems with those 
libraries on the 32-bit version of cygwin, causing occasional crashes of 
xterm, and frequent crashes of xwin-xdg-menu under Windows 10. I'm just 
wondering if your issue is related to those same problems in these 
libraries, only it's manifesting differently under the 64-bit version of 
cygwin. It may be a long-shot, but if our experiences corroborate each 
other it might help nail down these font-related issues.

In any case, check to see if there's an xterm.exe.stackdump file in the 
directory from which you ran xterm. If there is, try running something 
like "strace xterm.exe > xterm.log" and see what xterm is doing before 
it crashes.

Hope this helps.

Gilles
