I had a similar experience.  I compiled up rxvt to use ntxlib, andcygwin
faulted.  Under gdb, I found that malloc was failing to
allocate a 4 byte chunk of memory.  So I wrapped up malloc
so that it rounded up the memory chunk sizes to multiples of 8.
No faults since.  Pretty bizarre. Any ideas from the cygwin gurus?

I'm running WinNT4SP3, PentiumII, and the latest cygwin.dll.

A snapshot of the rxvt port is here:  Win32 rxvt
