That seems to be it! [touching wood]AFAICT the handle is opened when starting cygwin and is inherited by child processes. It is used in a WaitForSingleObject call. The purpose is to rescan /etc/{passwd,goup} after changes. It's unlikely to be a coincidence, given the previous e-mails!
I added a "return 0" at the top of init_cygheap::etc_changed() (so that the whole FindFirstChangeNotification/DuplicateHandle business never happens). So far, no crashes - despite my best efforts running chkconfig rsync on/off, /sbin/telinit 3/1.
Thanks for the hint!
