Thanks.  This isn't as useful as it might be, but it shows that the crash is
occurring somewhere in the OpenGL ICD for the Intel Graphics display driver.

You might try using a different driver version to see if this fixes the problem.

Or, you should be able to work around this problem by starting the X server
with the -nowgl option, or possibly by using the GLWIN_NO_WGL_EXTENSIONS
environment variable.

Short of debugging into the crash, it's difficult to determine if this is a
Cygwin X server bug, or one in the graphics driver.
