I don't quite understand why cygwin's exception processing doesn't then
catch that exception and raise a SIGSEGV.
However, I did a bit more staring at the changes in 1.17.1-3 and I did
find a nasty bug in some code which uses the heap. I've uploaded a
snapshot [1] with a possible fix, please test that if you can.
That fixes it. Thanks.
No problem. Thanks for testing, and thanks for reporting the bug!
I've uploaded 1.17.1-4 with this fix.
