New description:

 In both Windows XP and Window 7 it is now possible (again) to build Sage
 on Cygwin.  However, Sage has a segmentation fault in Pari upon startup.

 This happens in initalizing the Pynac i (`init_pynac_I` in
 sage/symbolic/pynac.pyx), but the final thing is that the mpfr number
 1.00000000000 causes the segfault upon running the `._pari_()` method.
 Suggestions as to why that would be - and a potential fix - are welcome.
