I don't know that the contents of this information is of much use to
anybody. It gives the name of the program and the function that it
was in, but not much else.

Windows 95 is 6 years old now and acknowledged to be not as good as
the newer versions of windows for memory handling and keeping
processes from overwriting each other.
If there is no information on the cygwin site about recommended
operating systems for their program and no warnings about Win95 then
perhaps they have fixed some of the problems. Either that or my
memory has become corrupted.

This reply isn't since I think that any problems are cygwin related
which is not of interest to most readers of that list.
