Hi,

I might be dense somehow, but the two emacs crashes with said 
"impossible" backtraces that I reported yesterday [1][2] were observed 
with the gdb version that you recommend:

$ gdb -version
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.8
[...]

$ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/gdb
gdb-7.8-2

Are you sure this is all it takes to get sane backtraces?

regards,
Markus
