BSOD happens as a result of kernel/driver flaws.  Cygwin packages are
applications, not kernel/driver code.  While it's possible an application
may "tickle" the kernel bug, the bug cannot be resolved in or localized
to a particular app.  If the info from the BSOD doesn't point you to a
failing driver or area of the O/S, make sure your O/S is up-to-date
with patches and that you're running the latest drivers for your hardware.
