(Resending because it complained about my inadvertently using html.)
My Cygwin Perl is 5.14.2. I don't have a link to a report. I never
filed a bug report, but we had an email exchange about this starting
on 1/13/12. My script is still having occasional problems, but it's
not dumping core. I'll have to do some more debugging to see what I
can see.

I believe it was Reini Urban who told me that there were known problems with Perl multithreading and that an ETA for a set of fixes was not known yet. Does anyone know if those particular Perl multithreading issues have been dealt with in later Cygwin releases? I'm still on 1.7.17.
