Thanks. The problem is no longer occurring. Let me state what I
know for the record in case it helps someone else someday.
This seems to be a heisenbug. When I ran it under gdb, repeatedly,
it refused to segfault. Outside gdb, with subversion-debuginfo
installed, I was unable to get a useful stackdump.
The problem has occurred only when gnu.org's svn server is slow:
on one isolated occasion a week or two ago, and throughout today.
And today there seems to have been a DDOS attack on gnu.org:
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108973
While the problem lasted, sometimes I got one or both of these
messages:
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository
svn: E175012: Connection timed out
and sometimes svn segfaulted with no message. I tried the same
operations on my debian-7 ("wheezy") system with its older
svn-1.6.17, where I got timeouts but no segfault.
My real problem was the gnu.org server. I can only conjecture
that attempting to work with a server under extreme load causes
svn-1.9.3-1 to follow some exceptional code path that attempts
to report a diagnostic and in doing so sometimes crashes.

I've installed 'subversion-debuginfo' and rebooted. After working okay for a few days, 'svn' is now segfaulting again.

It was svn that crashed. I was running it in zsh, which trapped the
segfault and printed this:
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)
Usually, zsh prints the failed command at the end of that message,
as in this session:
$bash -c 'inf() { inf; }; inf'
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) bash -c 'inf() { inf; }; inf'
but in this case it did not, and the omission does make the message
potentially confusing. But the stackdump contains:
program=C:\cygwin-lmi\bin\svn.exe, pid 1736, thread main
so it's surely svn that crashed.

setup 2.761 regression: '--quiet-mode' conflicts with '--packages'
It appears that some recent change to setup.exe has unintentionally made '--quiet-mode' incompatible with '--packages' for command-line installs. A similar problem was reported here: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2011-12/msg00244.html Using current setup.exe version 2.761, this no longer works (although it still works with setup.exe version 2.738 from a few months ago): setup-2.761.exe --quiet-mode --site ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/ --root C:/cygwin-1_7 --packages cvs That command takes only about one second, and the local subdirectory for downloads contains only setup.ini . According to setup.log.full (which is only about 4K), setup.bz2 is downloaded; then it says: Added manual package cvs Changing gid back to original Visited: 0 nodes out of 1948 while creating dependency order. Dependency order of packages: Changing gid to Administrators Ending cygwin install If '--quiet-mode' isn't given, then everything works (and cvs is installed from '--packages'): setup-2.761.exe --site ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/ --root C:/cygwin-1_7 --packages cvs ...so that's a workaround, but '--quiet-mode' is much nicer for scripted installation. If '--packages' isn't given, then the base system is installed correctly: setup-2.761.exe --quiet-mode --site ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/ --root C:/cygwin-1_7 ...but, even after the base system has been installed, rerunning the original command: setup-2.761.exe --quiet-mode --site ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/ --root C:/cygwin-1_7 --packages cvs doesn't install cvs. The resulting setup.log.full says Visited: 50 nodes out of 1948 while creating dependency order. but the Dependency order of packages list doesn't contain cvs. I've saved setup.log.full from each of the four attempts above in case further information from them is wanted.

Corinna Vinschen writes:

fileno and pclose are *not* ANSI functions. Therefore, if you define
-ansi, you get the below errors. The newlib headers have explicit
#ifndef __STRICT_ANSI__ guards around the non-ANSI definitions.
[...]
I do not believe that your interpretation of the applicable standards
is
entirely correct.
The -ansi flag tells the GNU *compiler* to disable its built-in
extensions. So for instance the block evaluation syntax
({ expr1; ... ; exprn }) won't be available.
It does more than that:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.1/gcc/C-Dialect-Options.html
| The macro __STRICT_ANSI__ is predefined when the -ansi option is used.
| Some header files may notice this macro and refrain from declaring
| certain functions or defining certain macros that the ISO standard
| doesn't call for; this is to avoid interfering with any programs that
| might use these names for other things.
This is a strictly conforming program as defined by ISO standard C:
#include stdio.h
int fileno(int x) {return 3 * x;}
int main(){return fileno(2);}
With '-ansi', the posix declaration of fileno() is suppressed; if it
weren't, then that program would fail to compile. See:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2004-09/msg00280.html
An argument could be made for giving _POSIX_C_SOURCE precedence over
__STRICT_ANSI__ if both are defined; but as long as that's not the
behavior, you might want to undef __STRICT_ANSI__ as appropriate.

Did the compiler display a diagnostic indicating that it couldn't

That machine was set to reboot itself upon BSOD, so I didn't have time to record the message; but the program name began with 'ati', so it was almost certainly a graphics driver. But those are defects in ring-zero programs, so it's their job to avoid crashing no matter what .ico file is handed to them. The resulting vulnerability is their fault--not the .ico's fault.

Supposedly, the 256x256 png-compressed size should be ignored on platforms that do not support it -- but maybe that's causing your problem.

I see that the fincstp documentation does warn that this operation is not equivalent to popping the stack, so I may be on the right track. Maybe this sheds some light: For FPTAN, FSIN, FCOS, and FSINCOS, the reduction bit is set if the operand at the top of the stack is too large.
