It seems to be comeing from inside the string allocator in stl but a more deeper anlysis shows the problem to be coming from the i386 memcpy, i don't think the memcpy has been written properly. Other than that i don't think there is much else anyone other than the cygwin developers can do to correct this problem. Other dlls i tested and saw the crash are: the cygwin1.dll snapshot from the 28th,27th,25th, the cygwin1.dll from latest release (as of last night) btw i've noticed a new snapshot just now made on nov 2nd, haven't tried that out yet, but it seems there have been some changes made to pthreads.
