I really need to see a real stack trace to debug this.  From what you've
sent, it seems to me that this SIGSEGV has occurred in a process that
was invoked as a child of a shell.  That is counter to your original
bug report so something is screwy somewhere.

Are you able to run anything with this DLL at all?  Is the gdb you
are using running the cygwin that you've built?
