Could that be a consequence of the > new stack size? Would it make sense to revert? If so, how? I'm not aware of any reason that increasing the stack size should make things worse. But I don't understand these crashes anyway, so who knows? If you want to experiment, you can restore the previous stack size with the command peflags -x0x400000 /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe (My builds for the x86_64 Cygwin distribution have been using a 4MB stack size for over a year.)
