Yes, you are triggering a fault in a device driver on your system, it
may be a MS fault, or a third party driver fault.
Get a minidump or a full dump, and use the kernel debugger kdi386.exe
from http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/debugging/ to get a backtrace with
symbols. That should help figure out whether it's MS or someone else you
need to go beat up on.
Oh, and it's not Cygwin, irrespective of the appearance: This is a
kernel mode fault that isn't being handled, and Cygwin doesn't have
any ring-0/NT native code in it. Cygwin may just be setting things up so
that the bug is exposed.
