I just started seeing this problem myself --- on 1.7.22 release.

I can run python -c 'import _wp,sqlite3' and see Python abort, but if I swap the
module order, everything seems to be fine. gdb is useless if I wait until it
breaks, but if i set a breakpoint on cygwin1!abort beforehand, I get this stack:

(gdb) where
#0  abort () at /usr/src/debug/cygwin-1.7.22-1/winsup/cygwin/signal.cc:362

#6  dll_global_dtors () at
/usr/src/debug/cygwin-1.7.22-1/winsup/cygwin/dll_init.cc:52

Does that help at all?  I only started seeing this problem after I recompiled
_wp.dll using gcc 4.7.3.
