Early in this discussion, Egor Duda suggested that you take a look at
a document that he wrote called "how-to-debug-cygwin.txt".  This tells
you how to configure cygwin with malloc debugging.  This causes cygwin
to go through very extensive tests on each malloc/free and report on
block overruns or double frees with information about where the block
was first allocated.

This is what I mean by malloc debugging.
