Re: Corrupt Cygwin64 install?

I have cygwin64 installed and up until recently, everything was
working fine. However, I updated a while back and now I notice that
emacs doesn't run:

$ emacs a.txt

It doesn't really crash, it just returns immediately. So I thought I'd
see what strace reported...

$ strace /usr/bin/emacs
      0 [main] strace 5196 D:\cygwin64\bin\strace.exe: *** fatal error
- Internal error: TP_NUM_W_BUFS too small: 50.
    614 [main] strace 5196 cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile:
Dumping stack trace to strace.exe.stackdump

You can't run strace on a symlink. Try 'strace /usr/bin/emacs-w32.exe' (or whichever emacs binary the symlink resolves to).
