usually the log files are attached not pit in line

as usual for https://cygwin.com/problems.html
"Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an 
attachment in your report. Please do not compress or otherwise encode 
the output. Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be 
easily viewed."

so I presume is not the root cause.

Assuming that the GL driver is unable to manage correctly
your driver, you can try to disable the hardware acceleration

startxwin -- -nowgl -multiwindow

After that I am afraid you need to wait Jon's support.
