Hi,

this is just to close this thread properly. I've upgraded the Cygwin DLL 
as suggested in the message mentioned above. I haven't seen a crash 
since. So, to sum it up: this was not an Emacs bug, but a Cygwin bug 
triggered rarely by few programs. One of them happened to be Emacs.

Thanks to all who spent some thoughts on this issue, and consider me a 
happy camper again.

Markus
