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.
