Well, automake is just a script.  (actually, it's three scripts on cygwin).

try the following:

$ /usr/autotool/devel/bin/automake --version
coredump?

$ /usr/autotool/stable/bin/automake --version
coredump?

these two incantations execute the perl script directly.  If there is an 
assert, then it's probably in perl.exe.

your first attemp called /usr/bin/automake, which is a bash script. 
Since that had an assert, then if the other two incantations do NOT 
assert, then the problem is in bash.exe.
