Hmm, nothing in here looks obviously wrong.  I'll have to try running it
myself (or slight modifications thereof), and see if I can reproduce any
failures.  But so far, I haven't reproduced anything.

Thanks; you got it the second time.

Not good.  You need /bin/sh to do lots of things in cygwin.  Rerun
setup.exe, and that should help.  Perhaps the core dump is happening when
something is trying to invoke /bin/sh, and not reacting nicely?

Not your problem, but probably a bug in setup.exe, since cygrunsrv 1.10 is
indeed new enough to dump service info.

bash is at 3.0-11 now, in case that helps.
