I can not help you since I am still struggling with clean compilation
of 0.10.0 under Cygwin32, but it might be of general interest to know that
preceding version 0.9.2, compiled under Cygwin32, crashes in the same function.

I even managed to find the precise place in code ( there are more
functions called by finalizer thread creation) but as yet I am too
inexpert with Cygnus Gdb on PC to be able to analyse it further
and hopefully even suggest a fix.
