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

The last Cygwin address in this call stack (61066A75) is an entirely harmless line in an entirely harmless function in a piece of code taken from FreeBSD. From there it goes downhill through at least two Windows DLLs (all address starting with 7). The joke is that this last Cygwin address in the call stack is practically unable to generate an access violation *and* it does not call any Windows function. I habe no idea why that happens, but it tastes a lot like a BLODA problem.

Did you test it with the latest Windows updates installed? The only thing I can think of that changed on the two computers where I have this issue is that there was a Windows update the night before the problem started. I might try rolling back the update before I start searching for BLODA.
