Cygwin glade v3.20.3 crashing with a segment fault.

Cygwin glade v3.20.3 crashing with a segment fault.

[tvonderhaar]

Has anyone gotten Cygwin glade v3.20.3 to run without it crashing with a 
segment fault. I got the latest updates to make sure it had not been 
fixed. No luck. The strace is very long. I had attached a 7z compressed 
version of it but my E-Mail was reject as too long at greater that 1MB 
even though it is actually 940kb. It is hard to believe that the 
overhead of this message is over 60kb.  The strace indicates to me that 
the program wrote outside of it writeable memory space.

     Help,
     Tom

Compressed binaries have to be encoded in attachments which expands the contents
by about 1/3.
Copy the strace output and delete all the standard startup before your program
gets going, then copy that and delete what you can that is irrelevant before the
segv, then check the size is less than 1MB, and attach.
If still too big, can you post it in a Github gist, on a Google drive, or other
external site you have access to?
