Core dump in emacs 24.3 on CYGWIN

[Doug Lewan <dougl at shubertticketing dot com>]

All, for several months I've been getting core dumps from emacs 24.3 running under CYGWIN. I try to update CYGWIN every week, but occasionally a week must be skipped.

Today is the first day I've gotten any specific information about any of these core dumps. (Usually it's just "Aborted (core dumped) emacs"). Today I got the following, more informative error. Still, it doesn't help me much in fixing the problem. (And it may, of course, just be a consequence of a memory management problem elsewhere.)

[xcb] Extra reply data still left in queue
[xcb] This is most likely caused by a broken X extension library
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
assertion "!xcb_xlib_extra_reply_data_left" failed: file "/usr/src/ports/libX11/libX11-1.6.2-1/src/libX11-1.6.2/src/xcb_io.c", line 576, function: _XReply

Can anyone else help? (Can this help anyone?)

Thanks.

Of course, shells have one feature that no other language has: subshells.

P.S. My apologies if this is received twice. My mailer claimed it was unable to deliver to the CYGWIN mailing list.
