Thanks very much for reporting this problem

Unfortunately, 32-bit XP is one of the platforms I test on, but I can't 
reproduce this problem.

There are two things you can perhaps do to generate additional 
information which will help me try to fix the problem:

1.
Install the experimental xorg-server-cygwin-crashreporter package and 
report the crash when it occurs.

2.
Follow the instructions for "Generating a backtrace when the X server is 
crashing at startup" at [1].
