Could you try rerunning that same clone again with 1.8.5.2, but first
temporarily replace cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll with a copy of
cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll ? If it works with the only variable being the
version of cygcrypto then I think that's pretty strong evidence that
there is some regression in cygcrypto. It's odd that it is
intermittent, though. Does anyone know anything about cygcrypto? Are
there functions that maybe aren't reentrant? The only reasons I can
think of for it sometimes working are either threading issues, using
uninitialized memory, or memory corruption (buffer overflow somewhere
perhaps).
