Build a cygwin1.dll with debug symbols and then use addr2line. Or use strace. At the very least you should try the latest snapshot to see if it fixes your problem. The fact that you get that popup is a little puzzling. That popup is the result of an SEH exception not being handled by the process and falling through to the system default handler. But Cygwin installs its own SEH handlers so that it can convert those sort of exceptions into "signal 11" without the popup. Normally you would not get a popup and it would terminate as on unix with a segmentation fault message and stackdump. But I guess if something internal to Cygwin is getting corrupted then all bets are off.
