I ran this second version of test-dlclose (with DLCLOSE_ATEXIT defined) under 
strace and got the following:

$ strace -o trace.out ./test-dlclose.exe 
exit with code 33
Segmentation fault

The strace output ends with

    30   30143 [main] test-dlclose 847 write: 18 = write(1, 0x600061E20, 18)
--- Process 33456 (pid: 847) unloaded DLL at 00000003e7930000

The address 00000003e7930000 seems to be in /usr/bin/cygz.dll, which is the DLL 
that got unloaded.  After installing zlib-debuginfo, I ran addr2line to see 
where the crash occurred, and this too crashed:

$ addr2line -C -f -i -p -e /usr/bin/cygz.dll 0x3e7931080
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

That's as far as I've gotten.
