Okay, I tweaked this slightly to get it to build:

  typedef int (__cdecl *MYPROC)();

  int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
  {
	  HMODULE h = LoadLibrary(TEXT("cygwin1.dll"));
	  MYPROC init = (MYPROC) GetProcAddress(h, "cygwin_dll_init");
	  init();

This delays the problem -- I now see C0000005 exceptions triggered
inside my library when writing to stderr later, after it has worked for
a while. The only difference between the working and crashing fprintf()s
is that before the second call, a different function inside my library
has been entered and a few variables declared (I'm happy to provide
details on request). The tail part of the strace looks as follows:

Any ideas?
