I just got a crash with the following backtrace:
There goes my BLODA theory (assuming you don't have any). These crashes
(including the indirect-variable one) are all seemingly impossible, but
if there were generalized random memory corruption, I'd expect to see
more severe effects. I have no idea what's wrong. Both trunk and
emacs-24 seem to be affected: did something change in the Cygwin DLL
side?
Not that I know of. By the way, all these crashes that are being
reported are in 64-bit Cygwin, FWIW. So it may very well be a Cygwin
problem rather than an emacs problem.
Do you have a 64-bit Cygwin installation on which you could try to
reproduce this? The crashes are seemingly random. I've occasionally
gotten a crash a few seconds after starting emacs, but other times I've
run emacs for days without a problem. So you might have to wait a long
time. Also, I don't always get a chance to attach gdb. In other words,
emacs just dies with a SEGV, but apparently without calling emacs_abort.
