Following the instructions at [2] to obtain an Xserver backtrace would

Reading symbols from /usr/bin/Xwin...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
From the above web page:
To generate a useful backtrace, you will need an X server built with
debugging symbols. X server snapshots are built with debugging symbols
for this reason. Download the latest X Server snapshot from
ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx, uncompress it using bunzip2, and move it
to /usr/bin/XWin.exe

Well, I DID follow the instructions provided by John....maybe that page
should point to binaries that have symbols?
