More knowledgeable people != me; but I just want to ask what the actual issue is. You said: The call of g_main_context_query in xgselect.c:62 still uses the variables gfds and gfds_size, which are not initialized by xgselect_initialize if we're running emacs -nw. But, more fundamentally, it doesn't make sense for emacs -nw to be interacting with GLib at all. This sort of makes it sound like the last sentence is a cosmetic issue, and it was the first bit (uninitialized variables; although they supposedly are initialized) that stopped your Cygwin crashes. Is the crash reproducible on any other platform besides Cygwin?
