If you're receiving this error, then you probably are not debugging a cygwin
program since Cygwin doesn't use msvcrt.

It is possible that the 'bt' command will provide you with a stack
trace.  However, in Windows, stack traces are often problematic since
most of the system DLLs do not preserve the frame pointer and gdb does
not deal with that very well.  So, you can't always trust a back trace
when it originates in a system function like memset.
