I'm getting the following error starting with cygwin snapshot

I can't reproduce that (also on W7).  How big is bigfile-test.dll?

That one is 20MB. So it would never fit in the a stack (not a default-sized one anyway).

But it also (mostly) fails on a smaller file (1.5MB).
Given the size difference, if file size mattered, one would always succeed or the other always fail.
