Is it emacs that's crashing or strace?  You should be able to tell by 
looking for a *.stackdump file in the current directory.

If it's emacs, can you try running it under gdb to see if you can get a 
backtrace?  (You would have to install gdb and emacs-debuginfo.)

My best guess at this point is that your problem is caused by 
https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda .

P.S. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and will have limited time to help 
you over the next couple weeks.
