i've stumbled over it just now. sh traps in free() -- someone's
corrupting the heap :(
it's 100% reproducible, and it's traps with 1.1.6 too.
i'm rebuilding cygwin1.dll with MALLOC_DEBUG now. Hopefully, we'll see
who's corrupting the heap.
btw, how big is MALLOC_DEBUG's penalty on performace? perhaps we
should enable this if configured with --enable-debugging? or add
--enable-malloc-debugging?
