I have found that with some programs XWin crashes

The cygcheck output and the XWin log file
are attached.

I'm kind of puzzled to see this, and I'm wondering what locale you have set,
but your cygcheck output seems to have been generated using cygcheck -s rather
than cygcheck -svr, as recommended by the problem reporting page linked at the
bottom of this email, so it doesn't record your environment.
In case you need it, I can also attach the source of
of some of the programs that fail. Unfortunately
the problem does not always appear, particulary
for very simple programs it does not arise.
What would be most useful would be using gdb to get a backtrace for the X
server when it crashes.
Apart from the XWin.0.log the following messages appear in the
terminal window used for starting the server
Segmentation fault at address 0x1c
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
$ [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
The message says that the server is aborting, but actually it does not
disappear. It cannot be stopped with the exit button in the
servers menu. After trying that the following message appears
$ winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
