I don't know anything about emacs, but I don't think this will help anyone find the problem. A stack trace without symbols (i.e. just numbers) contains no useable information. And since it appears that you are running a self-compiled version (in /usr/local) then it is even more useless since your offsets are going to be unique. It would be better for you to set the error_start parameter of the CYGWIN environment variable so that gdb is launched on the fault, and get a stack backtrace. Though this will suffer from the same problem unless you've compiled from source with debugging information enabled. A backtrace with symbolic function names and/or line numbers is really the only useful form.
