20110117 snapshot crashes with rxvt and tcsh


I am having tcsh "out of memory" problems when running tcsh under
rxvt with the latest snapshot (20110127).  I do not see the failure
if I am not running under rxvt.  I also do not see the problem
if I repeatedly run bash shells.  This problem also existed with 
the 20101201 snapshot.  That snapshot fixed other tcsh crashes, so
before that I don't know if this problem was causing some of the
crashes or not.

To reproduce the problem, in a cygwin.bat window:

/bin/rxvt -e /bin/bash

In that rxvt window execute:

while TRUE; do /bin/tcsh -fc date; done

This fails about every five minutes for me:

This happens on both my Windows 7 machine at home and work.

My configuration from "cygcheck -s" is attached (cygcheck_output.txt).
