Ehud, thnx for the reply; I didn't do any rebasing (don't know what that 
is), and the problem is that emacs crashes about every 5 minutes, mostly in 
latex mode when I use the combination of auctex/preview/x-symbol.  very 
painful...   I don't have any such difficulties when using precisely the 
same combination under linux.

Joe Buehler's advice is to use an old cygwin version.  I was hoping for 
someone who might be interested in detailed bug reports, but perhaps this 
indeed is a cygwin issue not an emacs one...

thanks...  EU
