I assume this refers to the problem reported in [1], crashing when running
yast2 on SuSE 11.4.  I don't know anything about any other crashes you might
have been experiencing.

I haven't done anything specific to try to fix this, because I can't reproduce
the problem and I don't have a useful backtrace.

It would be of great help if you could follow the instructions at [2] to
download the debug symbols and obtain a backtrace of the crash.

This log looks normal apart from this line.

I don't think this is a new warning, and wasn't in the previous log you
posted, so it's hard to see how this could be directly related to the problem.

On the other hand, I'm a bit surprised that it works at all after that error.

Nevertheless, since UNIX sockets don't seem to be working correctly for you,
you might like to try adding '-nolisten unix' to see if that makes any difference.

cygwin = '() {  return 0

While I doubt that is is relevant, that's either a bug in cygcheck or a rather
strange setting for the CYGWIN env var
