Christopher:

I have not set CYGWIN_DEBUG:
% printenv |grep CYG
CYGWIN=error_start=C:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe

Clearly, something causes pstree (and some other programs) to crash
intermittently. (I was getting dump files before setting error_start...)?
Also see the recent posting by Volker Zell?

I guess we'll just wait until a few more similar problems pop up that
may give better clues.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary in the above.  pstree isn't
dying.  It's just stopping at cygwin's "break_here".  Maybe you have the
CYGWIN_DEBUG environment variable set?
