If you want to try weeding out the "false" SIGSEGVs from the real ones
you can try the patch I posted yesterday to cygwin-patches.  However,
you will have to rebuild Cygwin from source, install the new headers
(since it adds defines to sys/cygwin.h) and then rebuild gdb.  And the
patch needs a minor change in order to not break strace, which is
mentioned later in the thread.

So, it's a rather large inconvenience as opposed to just typing "c",
however if you are seeing a lot of these benign SIGSEGVs it might be
worthwhile.
