After update, exiv2 (next-to-latest version) aborts and stackdumps.

[SJ Wright]

I'll paste in the body of one of the stackdump files presently. All 
three I have so far seen look identical to me.

This followed a run of setup.exe to reinstall some packages that showed 
up as incomplete during a cygcheck this morning. Unfortunately I haven't 
the complete list, just the names of the "bad" packages I grepped from 
it in mintty.  The setup.exe utility only noted one error 
(inconsistency? hiccup?) and, as far as I could tell, it had nothing 
directly to do with libs or dependencies that exiv2 invokes in its 
operation. If the stackdumps suggest otherwise, I'll accept asmuch.  
These dump files were created within an hour of one another, and also 
within an hour of finishing the update in setup.exe.

The body of the latest exiv2.exe.stackdump file (Windows Explorer dates 
it "10/8/2011 5:19 PM") follows.

I really don't know what could be causing this. Has anyone else had 
stackdump problems with software not in the repositories, which they've 
kept installed through an update such as mine?

Just FYI: I posted to the support/discussion forum for Exiv2 less than 
half an hour ago, You can read that thread here:
