Ilya,
FYI, the attachment did not come through to the Cygwin list. However,
this is a genuine fig2dev bug (not Cygwin-specific), though it manifests
only on Cygwin for some reason. In your case, the crash occurs in
put_arc_box() in dev/genlatex.c, when it tries to call put_line(). Now,
put_line is a function pointer that is set in the switch in lines 429-441,
which only sets it for 3 line styles (SOLID_LINE, DASHED_LINE, and
DOTTED_LINE), and doesn't have a default clause, so for more elaborate
line styles (from the newer xfig), the program jumps into
never-never-land. Don't know why it works on Linux -- perhaps it's
picking up an old value off the stack from the previous call that ends up
being something reasonable (like put_solidline)...
In general, it's good programming practice to have default clauses in all
switch statements... In any case, here's a patch that will fix the issue
for you ('ware the Tab characters):
