By specifying  --with-Xawed during configuring, I was able to produce
a  good runable emacs..

Building  --with-GTK does not.  It used to up to a week or so ago,
however.  So someting related to this changes.

The problem is not in the cygwin dll I tried exchanging the old for
the new and no changes n failure.  Further indication that GTK related
code has a bug in it.
