Note in retrospect I realized that this period leading up to the release of Wine-1.6.0 has been a lousy time to ask wine developers with Cygwin expertise to take on the additional distraction of getting the debugging process for bug 24018 started with the Cygwin developers.
Because of the bad timing from the Wine developer perspective, I asked Arjen Markus, a PLplot colleague of mine with Cygwin contacts, to try and get the debugging process started with the Cygwin developers. The response http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-06/msg00666.html to his post looks quite promising. It turned out the "fork bomb" test programme failed after only 500 iterations, and the Cygwin developer, Corinna Vinschen thinks she knows what the issue is with more to come. So stay tuned to that thread if you have an interest in bug 24018.
