You'll notice that this is very different from the original problem.

I was able to debug the original problem because the user provided a
code snippet that demonstrated the problem.  Providing code that shows a
fork() call does not really demonstrate anything.

You don't seem to have tried to figure out where, specifically, the
code is dying.  It seems to be in the cygwin DLL (which doesn't mean
that it is cygwin) but I don't know where.

If you have a cygwin1.dll with debugging symbols, you can get the symbolic
addresses by using the "list" command, i.e.

list *6101EC4E

I'm not sure what thread you are referring to.  If it is the other process
then gdb has no way to debug another process currently, unfortunately.

One technique that I use to work around this is to build a cygwin1.dll
and put something like a:

small_printf ("my pid %d\n", GetCurrentProcessId ());
Sleep(15000);

somewhere in the dll_crt0_1 startup code.  When the pid is printed, I then
attach to that pid using gdb:

	gdb theprogram.exe nnnn

Where nnnn is the reported pid.
