I tested your program and found out that the crashes were in compiler generated code (especially in STL code). Upgrading to the latest version of everything (GCC in particular) solved everything for me without using any Cygwin snapshots.
I've updated everything too, atm i'm using the "new" gcc 3.3.1-3, yet it still crashes, plus i don't think the changes made recently to the snapshots exist in the cygwin release.
However i too do think there is an issue with cygwin's Pthreads and the stl string class, more so i think there is an issue with the underlying infrastructure that it uses, ie: the i386 assembler code.
I've found many times when using the cygwin1.dll i've built the crashes occur in those libraries. however due to the fact that the release dll does not have debugging on i wasn't able to investigate where abouts the crashes were residing from within gdb.
The fact still remains, debug built dlls work, snapshot and release dlls don't, why? does anyone know?
