Yes.

Definitely weird - didn't even get to the point of letting me type the "r"; gdb crashes
out immediately.

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>gdb XWin.exe
     29 [main] ? 1840 init_cheap: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win3
2 error 487
c:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe (1840): *** AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x616A0000, Re
gionSize 0x1AE0000, State 0x10000


C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>bash
bash-2.05b$ gdb XWin.exe
    175 [main] ? 1188 cygheap_fixup_in_child: Couldn't reserve space for cygwin'
s heap (0x616A0000 <0xCA0000>) in child, Win32 error 487
C:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe (1188): *** m.AllocationBase 0x0, m.BaseAddress 0x616A0000
, m.RegionSize 0x1AE0000, m.State 0x10000

bash-2.05b$

So that's something, anyway - neither XWin or gdb run under my system in the post 1.5.7-1 
snapshots.

As a data point to try and claim that I am not a total moron, this does WFM on another 
machine running XP Home (20040218 snapshot + XWin.exe).
