 Hi!

In the Hatari project (www.hatari-emu.org), we recently hit a problem in the
CI when we compile Hatari with Cygwin. A couple of weeks ago, everything
was working still fine:

 https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4681700988420096

Then it suddenly started failing - also for the very same code level of
Hatari that was working fine before:

 https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6377222543507456

The only difference was that the SDL2 package of Cygwin recently has been
upgraded from 2.32.8-1 to 2.32.56-1.

Christian Zietz, a user of Hatari who has a Windows installation (I don't)
debugged the issue a little bit and concluded that it's crashing somewhere
during exit():

 https://sourceforge.net/p/hatari/mailman/hatari-devel/thread/00253a75-4089-4d8a-846e-8d5c0a4899ee%40gmx.net/#msg59242465

He reproduced it with the following small test program:

$ cat sdltest.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <SDL.h>

int main(int arc, char ** argv) {

    if (SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) == 0) {

        printf("SDL_Init succeeded\n");
        printf("Calling SDL_Quit()\n");
        SDL_Quit();
    }

    return 0;
}

Could someone please have a look?
