Unfortunately, when investigating exceptions inside the cygwin dll, it's 
necessary to 'set cygwin-exceptions on', which will cause the debugger 
to actually stop at the point of the exception.

(This explains why the specific exception is SIGTRAP, and why you get 
the all the extra frames for exception handling below memmove in the 
backtrace)

>     I installed the version of the cygwin-debuginfo that is on my test computer to the build machine (version 3.6.6-1).  I put the memmove back in the code in place of the bloated code that has been running the past 4 days without any problem (and the past ~10 years before changing to memset) and got another SIGTRAP in gbd on that memset within 2 hours.  The backtrace looks very similar:

Hmmm.... if you've successfully installed the matching 
cygwin-debugininfo package on the machine running gdb, you should get 
getting symbol information here, so something's not quite right.
