Bumping this one, since I'm still stuck.

This is the line of code with the assertion failure:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.87.0/glib/gmain.c?ref_type=tags#L4266

I see no recent changes around that line in the current codebase:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/main/glib/gmain.c?ref_type=heads#L4292

I'm not sure whether updating to a later release (2.87.5 or 2.88.0) 
might help?  Is this more likely to be a cygwin bug or a glib bug that I 
should report there?  Any suggestions appreciated!

Regards,
Scott
