--- Comment #12 from Paul "TBBle" Hampson <Paul.Hampson at Pobox.com> ---
I've been looking into this from the MSYS2 side, which also uses Cygwin, and it
appears to be a Cygwin bug, making assumptions about an internal data structure
dubbed FAST_CWD, which Wine does not use.

My analysis is at
https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/682#issuecomment-384215617 and
the Cygwin fixes are patches 0025 and 0026 at
https://github.com/TBBle/MSYS2-packages/tree/msys2-runtime-wine-cwd-support/msys2-runtime.

However, the Cygwin-based system hit other issues that may or may not be
related, after the crash/error reported here was resolved.

A different issue has arising in the meantime somewhere between Wine 2.4 and
Wine 3.6 which breaks even the otherwise-working (old) Cygwin release, as
mentioned in the 'fourth edit' of
https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/682#issuecomment-385144098.

*That* one is probably a Wine issue to be fixed, but should be ticketed
separately as I suspect it will reproduce with a more-minimal test than Cygwin.
