No, sorry.  This may be a c++11 thingy which requires "something" in
libstdc++ and Cygwin, but I don't know what that could be.  It's
especially weird that free() aborts.  This points to some malloc/free
inconsistency, as if the malloc (or new) call used another
implementation of malloc than the aborting free call.  It may also
be a memory overflow issue but that would show up on other platforms
as well.
