I tried emacs-24, but with no luck: after hitting `C-x C-f C-g' emacs

the workaround with emacs-nox, thanks for it!).

Sorry for the poor report, probably I could provide more details if
needed.

Please do provide details, including the cygcheck output requested at


http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Give a complete recipe for reproducing the problem, preferably
starting with `emacs -Q'.

Thanks.

Attached the output from cygcheck. For some reason it dumped core too:


$ cygcheck -s -v -r>  /tmp/cygcheck.out
Segmentation fault

I wonder if this is the same problem as the one that was reported in


http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00292.html

and fixed in the 2012-05-14 snapshot.

Other programs seem to work normally (though I haven't tried many).

The steps to reproduce the problem with emacs-24 are:

1. start emacs: emacs -nw -Q
2. C-x C-f C-g
Here emacs either dumps core or hangs.

I can reproduce this on XP but not on Windows 7. And I see from your (partial) cygcheck output that you're running Vista. I'll try to debug this on my XP system.
