It indicates a Cygwin bug.  Thanks for the report and the testcase.

The joke here is, the signal handler function gets called twice for the
same exception.  Proof is that you can remove the second call to crasher
and still sigsegv_handler gets called twice.

I see why this happens, but I'm not quite sure yet how to fix it
completely.  I can easily fix this for the normal case as well as for
the case a process gets started by the debugger.  But I have trouble as
soon as a debugger gets attached to a process after the process already
started.

Does anybody know if there's a way for a process to be getting notified
if a debugger attaches to or detaches from it?
