Originally, he set the variable to set Cygwin=error_start=...
You are right, it should be
set error_start=d:\cygwin\bin\dumper.
As to the problem in the code,
He needs to examine his code closely through a text editor.
SEGV is a segment fault which is caused by placing a char where an int 
should be or vice versa. I know. My trek trivia program had this problem 

for years before I finally fixed it.
The disk I had had the same error because I did not replace the broken 
code with the fixed code.
