One more datapoint: it doesn't seem to crash if I run it
under strace, either.
And no, the machine is not overclocked... it's been quite stable.

For what it's worth, I tried rolling back make and cygwin; didn't
seem to help (but then, I didn't reboot... hey, come to think of it,
isn't it standard practice to reboot when fixing any windows problem?
Guess I'll try again in the morning.)
