XEPHEM.EXE had a segmentation violation (STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION).
Cygwin did the right thing and trapped the exception but it is probably
not at fault.

The next release changes the output to print something like the following

(D:\USR\X11R6.3\BIN\XEPHEM.EXE 1011) Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Dumping strack trace to XEPHEM.EXE.core
