Even with Bill's additionl info I have no idea what change in the
above time frame might be the culprit, especially since no change
has been made to stack handling.

I suggest to build your own Cygwin and bisect it.  Also, you
may want to run your stuff under GDB and set breakpoints to, e.g.,
Cygwin's exception::handle method.  Make sure the cygwin1.dbg
file can be found by GDB.
