fresh 1.7, bash fails with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[Ian Kelling <ianowl at gmail dot com>]

Right after installing with nothing but the default packages and options, 
when launching cygwin, bash flashes an error message for half a second and 
goes away.

This is a first time install on vista 64 ultimate using 1.7 with setup 
version 2.637.

I restarted, deleted cygwin directories and reinstalled with a different 
mirror and got the same result.

I found the following in C:/cygwin/bash.exe.stackdump. When the error 
flashes, it shows different line numbers each time, like bash 1948. Oddly, I 
deleted the stackdump file, and it is never created again even when I have 
the error again afterwards.


Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=08CE0000
