You have to set some break points.  You're single stepping in an unknown
location in an unknown thread.

You probably also have to switch to the correct thread.  It may be
thread 1 but with ttys there are more threads involved.

info threads will display the thread.  "thread 1" will switch to
it.  "bt" will show a back trace.  It's possible that the back trace
will be inaccurate in some cases due to system dll "frame pointerless"
functions.

dcrt0.cc: do_exit()

0x77* is a system DLL.

I think the command is "info shared" to list DLLs but since my cygwin
installation is currently hosed, I can't check.
