-** Emacs compiled with Gtk+ crashes on startup on Cygwin.

-A typical error message is
-  ***MEMORY-ERROR***: emacs[5172]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes
-  (alignment: 512): Function not implemented

-Emacs supplies its own malloc, but glib (part of Gtk+) calls memalign and on
-Cygwin, that becomes the Cygwin supplied memalign.  As malloc is not the
-Cygwin malloc, the Cygwin memalign always returns ENOSYS.
-
-One workaround is to set G_SLICE=always-malloc before starting emacs.
-For example, in bash,
-
-  G_SLICE=always-malloc emacs
-
-or put
-
-  export G_SLICE=always-malloc
-
-in one of the bash startup files.  This also has to be done before
-building emacs on Cygwin with Gtk+.
