There are no clues immediately apparent _after_ running GDB on this.
Should != what I experienced.

Clues_p (If it was a known HEAD issue, or if it sparked a memory for
you!?)

How do you get gdb to stop in cygwin1.dll before main() is reached? The
delay occurs during dll initialisation AFAICT, and I haven't managed to
find out how to stop that early on.

Likewise the linked exe stackdumps under bash/sh but not under cmd.exe.
