I suggest you send this to the cygwin-xfree list.  You'll be more likely 
to find people there who can help you.  When you follow up, please 
attach cygcheck output as requested here:

And please give a recipe for triggering the abort, if possible; or do 
the aborts seem to happen at random?  And can you reproduce the problem 
starting with emacs -Q?
