So, that confirms that it is dying in the link() call even though the
location from your stack dump doesn't make sense (not your fault).
Do you have a debugging DLL handy or can I send you one? If you set a
breakpoint in _link in the cygwin DLL and single step along until it
dies, it should be instructive.
Also does the latest snapshot behave any differently?
