The line above has nothing to do with the crash that you are experiencing.

Installing random source/binary packages is unlikely to help.

You have to provide more information on your environment and the crash 
itself.

Reading http://cygwin.com/bugs.html may help you to provide this 
information. The ouput of 'strace' on  bash would help also - i.e. 
instead of starting bash from the shortcut, run a command prompt window 
and type 'strace -o bash.strace c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe' (without the 
quotes) - obviously you have to replace c:\cygwin with the actual 
location where you have installed Cygwin.
