When copying the executable and dll, yes. That very same pair also 
crashes on the previously sane machine after it had its binutils 
upgraded. Unfortunately, I was too eager to try the upgrade to note the 
version it was upgraded from. The version was quite likely last upgraded 
at the end of June (but if gcc 3.4.4.1 wasn't out on cygwin yet then, 
that must be wrong).

It would seem like the/some C++ runtime library is part of binutils, the 
version of binutils doesn't (greatly) influence the code created by gcc, 
and that the latest binutils does strike back when invoked by the test 
program. However, Sysinternals' sublime Filemon reports that the only 
files accessed <http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html> 
(apart from the obvious executable, dll and stackdump) are:
C:\Programs\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\DNSAPI.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\EntApi.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\NETAPI32.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\NETRAP.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\NTDSAPI.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\PSAPI.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\psapi.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\SAMLIB.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\SECUR32.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\WS2_32.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\WS2HELP.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\WSOCK32.dll
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network 
Associates\BOPDATA\_Date-20050803_Time-103932000_EnterceptExceptions.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network 
Associates\BOPDATA\_Date-20050803_Time-103932000_EnterceptRules.dat

the latter two stemming from McAfee VirusScan (even if On-Access scan is 
disabled!).

I guess that indeed the gcc and binutils versions are not at stake, that 
cygwin upgraded itself too on the sane machine, and that code created by 
gcc 3.4 exposes a problem in the latest cygwin release.

Unfortunately, a new round of cygwin setup has crashed there and the 
cygwin environment appears messed up now. It's also very much in use so 
let's forget about that machine.

I'll do so.
