It seems to be heap corruption as far as I can tell. The problem moved
around when I inserted some printf's to see what where it was failing. So
far I've seen it fail in cfree, _close, and fork_child.
My CYGWIN environment variable is set to ntsec check_case:adjust ntea
glob:noignorecase tty binmode.
I will try to investigate further, but it might be better if someone more
familiar with the recent changes has a look.
