crashes with various programs

[Lester Ingber <ingber at ingber dot com>]

Since the latest round of updates with cygwin1.dll, I've been having
various programs crash regularly (daily, sometimes several times per day).
Lot of times my xterm windows just exit.  Here is an example of a
non-X program, /usr/bin/pstree that regularly crashes:

% pstree
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

or

% pstree -p -l
Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=610DD891

I attach cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and also pstree.exe.stackdump.

Thanks.

Lester
