collision/interaction.
     If that doesn't work, I'd recommend debugging the problem directly
with gdb.
Which vim sources that work in cygwin should I use instead?

If you didn't use source package that you can download through setup, you
can rerun setup and select it by checking the "Src?" checkbox.  But I
think you misunderstand my response.  You said that you built from source
yourself and added features that aren't built into the binary package that
you can install via setup.  When using those features in your binary, you
experienced SEGVs.  Since you are using features that aren't supported in
the Cygwin version, there's no guarantee that they will work as expected.
In other words, you're blazing a new trail under Cygwin so you'll be the
first to encounter any problems that may come from doing so.

Another possible avenue to check is whether the upstream VIM package has
received any reports of problems with python and lua.  If so, there may be
patches or other solutions that could also be applied to Cygwin.

Ok, I have already used the source packages I get through setup and
encountered the problem.
I have send the initial email also to the
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vim_dev list but haven't heard
anything from there yet.

I'd recommend sending to the VIM developers list directly.

Also, checking the archives there may unearth some related discussion that
came up previously.
