It's useful enough to know that it is dying in fetchmail.  You can translate
addresses either using gdb or addr2line.

It seems very likely that you are going to have to use gdb to debug this.
There isn't much anyone can do to remotely debug something from a stack
dump.

There is no way to produce a core file via cygwin, currently.
