pine dumps core on exit

I just updated to the lastest Cygwin and figured I'd try pine.
It looked to be working well until I exited, at which point I got
this error:
| Problem detected: "header size inconsistent".
| Pine Exiting.
| Aborted (core dumped)
... and pine exited, leaving my INBOX kind of corrupted.
This appears to have something to do with ctrl-M's at the end of some
lines in mail folders that pine creates... or something. I'm not clear
on exactly what's happening. For instance, sending an email in pine
will create a "sent-mail" folder, and the "do not erase this message"
bit at the beginning of the folder has Ctrl-M's, but the rest of the
folder doesn't. I can see how this might confuse pine.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas what's going on? When I install
Cygwin I choose "DOS" as the default file type but I've never known
what that actually *does* (and I probably have no reason to choose it);
I guess it's possible that my troubles relate to whatever setting
results from that.
