Thanks for reporting this.

I can reproduce this problem, but it only seems to occur with 32-bit cygwin.

(Obviously you also need a recent enough Windows 10 to have the 
Bahnschrift font)

The actual crash seems to be in fontconfig, e.g. 'fc-query 
/usr/share/fonts/microsoft/bahnschrift.ttf' fails in the same way.

I didn't get very far investigating the problem, as rebuilding the 
fontconfig package with the current toolchain seems to be enough to make 
the problem go away.
