(Sigh.  It died again while I was writing this note.)

Ok.  I have McAfee on this box.  Note that we've had McAfee installed on all laptops here for quite a while, including my older Win32 box, which I didn't see this problem on.

I'm attaching the cygcheck.out file. I only elided my laptop hostname.

I followed the instructions for creating a backtrace (running "gdb -p <emacspid>" before clicking YES, and then "continue", and then "bt").  However, it just said "No stack.".
