i've since been able to reproduce the crash problem i spoke of previously by
running these two programs, each in a different cmd shell:

test1.bat:

:start
diff a b
ls -C
cat a >c
rm.exe c
goto :start

test2.bat:

:start
diff d e
ls -C
cat a >f
rm.exe f
goto :start

eventually one or the other will exhibit the messy crash and stack trace i
mentioned.
  i know this seems like going out of my way to find a bug, but the existence
of this bug disallows reliable multi-tasking of gnuwin32 programs.  this is
unfortunate.
