The other possibility is that the strange backtraces are due to a bug in 
gdb that has since been fixed.  PR 16155 
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16155) seems like a 
possible candidate for such a bug, but I haven't yet tried to verify 
this.  OP, could you update to Cygwin's gdb-7.8-2 and see if your 
backtraces start to make more sense?  The problem with gdb-7.8-1 that I 
mentioned earlier has been fixed.
