which setup.exe version? cygcheck? We are not interested in kernel32 
dumps without any useful info.

mhash causing setup to crash is quite interesting, because it's a tiny 
package without any dependencies and just a few files. And I cannot 
reproduce it.

   /usr/bin/cygmhash-2.dll
   /usr/include/mhash.h
   /usr/lib/libmhash.a
   /usr/lib/libmhash.dll.a
   /usr/lib/libmhash.la
   /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/mhash-0.9.1.README
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/AUTHORS
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/ChangeLog
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/COPYING
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/INSTALL
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/NEWS
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/README
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/THANKS
   /usr/share/doc/mhash-0.9.1/TODO
   /usr/share/man/man3/mhash.3.gz

The mentioned /usr/share/mc/syntax/xml.syntax is from mc, the next 
package in your list probably, and not from mhash.
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=mc%2Fmc-4.6.1-1&grep=xml.syntax

I got setup to hang (not to crash as you reported) when the ACL (file 
permissions) forbid to write, but then setup just waits forever until 
the perms are fixed (or not).

But maybe mingw or mhash-devel, the next packages in setup.ini, and 
which both are empty, might setup crash.
