You may want to investigate this issue with one of the setup
snapshots at <http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/>.  I don't
really expect that 2.418 will solve the problem but it's worth
trying.  Also, you could try debugging setup with the debug
snapshot version of 2.415, since you're seeing a crash with that.
Just some ideas...
