Many months later, I thought maybe the above might have uncovered
something which would shed some light on the stack problems that I
noted.  It didn't but I did take a swing through this report and
eliminated some of the more obvious issues.

Any chance, you could rerun this Yaakov?  I promise to look at it within
the next three months if so.  That will more than half the amount of
time it took me to look at your last report.

Btw, Clang doesn't actually build a usable version of Cygwin does it?
