You are right in one point, the patch should also include config.guess and
config.sub to make sense; because if you apply the patch without exchanging
config.guess then bash will also stackdump.

Here's the important line from configure:

-*-cygwin32*)   opt_bash_malloc=no ;;   # Cygnus's CYGWIN32 environment
+*-cygwin*)     opt_bash_malloc=no ;;   # Cygnus's CYGWIN32 environment 

After exchanging config.guess opt_bash_malloc will not be set to no ==>
Stackdump during initialisation of bash.

Did you build bash inside the cygwin sourcetree or standalone ?

I built it standalone; perhaps there is a difference.
