I've just updated my cygwin using setup.exe on XP-pro and found that the  
texlive-install produced an error.

In setup.log.full I found:

fmtutil: initial config file is `/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf'
fmtutil: configuration file updated: `/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf'
fmtutil: running `luatex -ini   -jobname=luatex -progname=luatex  
luatex.ini' ...
Memory fault (core dumped)
Error: `luatex -ini  -jobname=luatex -progname=luatex luatex.ini' failed

...

fmtutil: initial config file is `/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf'
fmtutil: configuration file updated: `/etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf'
fmtutil: running `luatex -ini   -jobname=dviluatex -progname=dviluatex  
dviluatex.ini' ...
Memory fault (core dumped)
Error: `luatex -ini  -jobname=dviluatex -progname=dviluatex dviluatex.ini'  
failed

...

fmtutil: running `luatex -ini   -jobname=luatex -progname=luatex  
luatex.ini' ...
Memory fault (core dumped)
Error: `luatex -ini  -jobname=luatex -progname=luatex luatex.ini' failed

and more.

I don't know which process crashed (fmtutil is a shell-script), and I  
found no stackdump anywhere using

find . ( -path ./c -o -path ./cygdrive -o -path ./proc ) -prune -name  
'*.stackdump' -print

Are the stackdumps being deleted by setup? I could not reproduce a crash  
by running fmtutil --refresh manually.

With fmtutil --all I get at the end:

###############################################################################
fmtutil: Error! Not all formats have been built successfully.
Visit the log files in directory
   /home/adm/.cache/texmf/web2c
for details.
###############################################################################

This is a summary of all `failed' messages:
`pdftex -ini  -jobname=mllatex -progname=mllatex -translate-file=cp227.tcx  
-mltex mllatex.ini' failed
`xetex -ini  -jobname=xetex -progname=xetex -etex xetex.ini' failed
`xetex -ini  -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex -etex xelatex.ini' failed

But again no Memory fault.

How can I find out what caused the Memory fault?
