Sorry, I understood that wrong.
I thought Eric reported the bug that installing the libsigsegv *stack
overflow* handler
corrupted the cygwin SEH chain with Win2008. Not the *segv* handler.

But then I learned that indeed a Win2008 exception causes another SEGV
to be delayed (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-07/msg00092.html)
and this fools the segv handler, not the stack handler.
