I just tried the same with your ctags and it dumps core the same way.
It happens if you cd into the ctags source tree and call `ctags -R .'.
Error message:
ctags: Warning: ctags.html:11: null expansion of name pattern "\2"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
But I found that this only happens with Cygwin from CVS, not in 1.3.22.
So it's apparently a Cygwin bug.

How do you do this? I haven't found a configure option for this.
Btw., you should remove the empty /etc/postinstall dir from the binary
package.
