I don't know what this has to do with the longjmp, but the thread
which gets crated right after pressing Ctrl-G is due to a select or
poll call.  The descriptor is a pipe, fifo, or pty.

After the longjmp, emacs has finished processing the C-g and goes
back into its idle loop, in which it repeatedly calls select.

gdb doesn't normally show the threads created by select.  If it did,
it would always create voluminous output.  Can you infer anything
from the fact that it shows this one?

The problem with stackdumps is that the addresses only make sense
for a single version of the Cygwin DLL.  If that's a self-built
version, what does `addr2line -e /bin/cygwin1.dll 610CFA77' print?
If it's 1.7.15, please install the cygwin-debug package and call
the same addr2line.

I assume the address corresponds to select.cc, line 625, but I'm
quite busy with the pthread_cancel stuff, so I didn't look deeper
into this problem.

Yes, that's correct.  (I'm using the 20120516 snapshot.)

Yes, that's exactly the created thread.  Do you happen to know what
kind of descriptor has been given to select at this point?  Is that
a pty master side perhaps?

Based on the emacs code, I think that's right.  But maybe I need to
download the source for the snapshot I'm using (or build cygwin1.dll
myself) so that I can step through the first call to select after
the longjmp and see exactly where the crash is happening.

That would be most helpful.  I don't grok this crash.  It's one of
the "this should never possibly happen" kind...

I'm now using an unoptimized build of the 20120523 snapshot. The gdb session is below. I first started emacs and started the shell process; this guarantees that when emacs calls select, one of the descriptors is a pty master. Then I attached gdb and put a breakpoint at the emacs function unwind_to_catch, which is triggered when I press C-g. It took two presses of C-g to get the crash. I think the rest is self-explanatory.

I still wonder why gdb shows the creation of that one pipesel thread that I marked.

Let me know if there's some other place I should be setting a breakpoint in order to track this down.
