When running some non-Cygwin programs from bash (seems to be mostly a problem with 16-bit programs, but also some 32-bit programs), bash gets an invalid page fault in KERNEL32.DLL and pops up a fault dialog.
I have seen the same problem with WindowsME for at least a month. All you need to do is to run the Windows version of sort (c:\windows\command\sort.exe) from a bash prompt. I did that accidentally because of a wrong sequence in my PATH string. You get a nasty crash every time with a never-ending self-respawning modal error window.
Do you want me to send any crash stacks? If so, please provide instructions what exactluy I am supposed to produce.
