Thanks.  Did that and followed the instructions to rebaseall.
Same result with perl. :-(

I then installed Gerrit's debug version and set  CYGWIN=error_start:d:\cygnus\cygwin\bin\dumper.exe
However, that doesn't work at all.  dumper or gdb, which I tried first, isn't called at all.  Instead there
is this perl process sitting around that can't be killed and prevents a clean shutdown of Windows.
The CYGWIN setting above has worked for me before.

I further noticed the cwd.dll library, in which perl dies, is part of perl.
