Update:

I have now tested my hacked cygwin1.dll (without the 
FindFirstChangeNotification of "/etc" stuff) quite extensively, on three 
different machines that previously experienced quite frequent BSODs when 
init was running.

No BSODs so far!

Thus, it seems quite obvious to me that the code in 
init_cygheap::etc_changed is to "blame"; it must trigger some obscure 
windows bug that sometimes causes a bsod when files under /etc are accessed.
