If you are willing to do some further investigation, it would be a great
help if you could:
* build the X server from source with debugging enabled
(no, don't run away! the autotoolized modular server is much easier to
work with the monolithic imaked monstrosity)
Rebuilding the source *should* be as simple as:
1) Run cygwin setup, select cygport, the xorg-server source package; the
packages for it's build-time dependencies, and devel packages
corresponding to it's run-time dependencies. The dependencies for
xorg-server are listed in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-server-1.5.3.README
2) cd /usr/src/
3) edit xorg-server-1.5.3-3.cygport to add CFLAGS="-g -O0" to the line
starting 'cygconf'
4) cygport xorg-server-1.5.3-3.cygport prep compile
To save you 30 minutes, here is a binary I built with debugging symbols.
ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20081204180806.exe.bz2
You will still need to install the source package and cygport prep to have the
source available for debugging, though.
* run XWin under gdb, set a breakpoint on ProcXkbSetNamedIndicator, and
tell me where and what the context is when it returns BadAlloc...
1) cd xorg-server-1.5.3-4/build/hw/xwin/.libs
2) gdb --args ./XWin.exe -multiwindow -clipboard
3) b ProcXkbSetNamedIndicator
4) run
