First of all, apologies for those of you who see this message in both mail
lists but I am not sure if the problem is in insight or cygwin1.dll.

When I run a cross version of Insight (ARM based snapshot from 14/3/00)
under b20.1 under NT4.0 using the latest cygwin1.dll (18/3/00) while single
stepping I get an exception and the system stops responding. Below is the
contents of the stackdump that is generated;

End of stack trace (more stack frames may be present)

The given address appears to live in cygwin1.dll. Running insight under GDB
reveals that the program received a signal SIGSEGV, segmentation fault at
address 0x61036620 in _size_of_stack_reserve__ (). This address is in the
cygwin1.dll address space according to listdlls.exe So I downloaded the
source code for cygwin1.dll to try and find this function so that I could
back trace the offending code and maybe fix the problem. however I cannot
find in any of the source code this function or label. I have used grep to
look for this in both the Insight code base and that for cygwin1.dll. Can
anyone tell me where this function is coming from and how  I can track the
problem back. I am happy to try and find the problem but I need to know
where this function exists.

The problem only manifests itself when stepping through code on an ANGEL
target if the target code is just run then the problem does not occur.

Any pointers or help will be greatly appreciated and I will report back with
any findings especially if I can find the problem and fix it.
