I've promoted the experimental libsigsegv 2.6+-1 to current. I need it for the upcoming clisp release, though I got no feedback yet upstream if Eric' fixes will be eventually in the next release 2.7.
Eric Blake fixed the SEH chain corruption in libsigsegv for 2.6+. The DLL revision is bumped from 0 to 1, so you can now change your requires to libsigsegv1. libsigsegv0 contains the old sources. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00881.html for the problems fixed. It's a small library for handling page faults in user mode. A page fault occurs when a program tries to access to a region of memory (heap or stack) that is currently not available. It is mainly required for clisp for generational garbage collection, m4 also uses for stack overflow protection.
