That seems to be it!  [touching wood]

I added a "return 0" at the top of init_cygheap::etc_changed() (so that 
the whole FindFirstChangeNotification/DuplicateHandle business never 
happens). So far, no crashes - despite my best efforts running chkconfig 
rsync on/off, /sbin/telinit 3/1.

Thanks for the hint!
