cygwin (self-compiled) does not run (Re: cygwin patch&test workflow?)

[Thomas Wolff]

Any further comments or help on this problem?
I tried once again to produce a fresh cygwin 1.7.0-62 src package 
compile, carefully cleared the environment from all non-cygwin-1.7 stuff 
(esp PATH), ran configure and make on the unmodified src, copied the dll 
to the cygwin 1.7 bin directory,
and still get the same crash (see below).
Can anyone reproduce this (with a setup.exe-installed src package, to be 
consistent)?

Thanks,
Thomas
