The problem that has been discussed at length in the thread "64-bit emacs crashes a lot" appears to have been solved on the emacs-devel list. (I say "appears to" because I'm waiting for Ryan to confirm this.) The problem went away for me when I built emacs with 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,--stack,4194304'. I'm wondering if it's just that emacs needs an unusually big stack or if the default stack size on 64-bit Cygwin should be increased for all applications.

I noticed that ulimit -s gives 2025 on both 32-bit Cygwin and 64-bit Cygwin. Shouldn't 64-bit applications need a larger stack than 32-bit applications in general?
