It works fine if I revert to cygwin 2.11.2-1. The symptom is random crashing, generally within the first minute of use. If I get some time I will try strace on it. I have not located a stack dump either - not sure if it's producing one. (I normally start emacs from a .XWinrc menu under X; I am not certain in which directory the X server is running, which presumably would have to do with where a stack dump file would appear.) But I thought it worth the report anyway. The crashes will happen even when just navigating in the emacs buffer, i.e., it does not seem obviously related to some action on (e.g.) files.
