'more' is segment faulting with the latest Cygwin .DLL (1.7.11).  I
can reproduce this problem on both a Windows 7 64-bit machine and a
Windows XP 32-bit machine.

I've attached the stackdump and cygcheck output.

Here's how to reproduce the problem:

1.  'more' a long text file
2.  Use / to search for some text, more will stop at the first match
3.  Use 'n' to search for another match.  At this point, it will segment fault
