64-bit emacs crashes a lot

[Ryan Johnson <ryan dot johnson at cs dot utoronto dot ca>]

Hi all,

Running 64-bit cygwin 1.7.22(0.268/5/3), with emacs-nox 24.3-4 inside 
mintty 1.2-beta1-1, I keep getting seg faults and "Fatal error 6: Aborted"

The most recent stackdump was:

It happens at strange times, invariably during I/O of some kind (either 
keyboard input or output from some compilation window); I don't get the 
impression it's fork-related. I don't know how to get a backtrace from 
emacs, given the way any exception or signal always loses the "userland" 
stack (suggestions welcome).

Anyone else seeing this?

Ryan

(BTW, off topic a bit: emacs+gdb -mi integration is vastly improved 
since I last tried emacs-24, hooray!)
