Grasping at straws, as usual, I wonder if these mysterious crashes could

Corinna, is this plausible? If so, maybe Gustav should try the next
snapshot of the Cygwin DLL. (The current one doesn't seem to have this
fix in it.)
Actually, I was scratching my head over that change and wondering
what it was supposed to solve.
We believe that this was the cause of e.g. mandb aborting on x86_64
without manually enlarging the stack commit size:

Perhaps those seeing emacs crashes could try `peflags -X0x20000
/usr/bin/emacs*.exe' and see if that helps? If so, that would confirm
the need for this patch.
