I did that comment, it is not speculation. I currently have no W32 machine,
hence no cygwin at all. I don't know how the original poster configured Gtk+,
I don't know which version of cygwin he/she has, I don't know which version of
Gtk+ he/she has. I only tried to find out if Emacs could fix this somehow,
which it can't. If the original poster ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) can send in
his/hers config.h from the Gtk+ configuration, we can figure out what function
we are talking about.

GSlice is a memory handling function in Gtk+ (Glib). It tries to
allocate an aligned block of memory using posix_memalign, memalign or
valloc. I don't know which of these three is used on cygwin, but
apparently cygwin does not have a correct implementation. I'd say it
is either a cygwin problem, or a glib problem. The allocation is done
when Emacs tries to create a widget and is done within the Gtk+ liby.
There is nothing Emacs can do to fix this. It must be done in cygwin
(by implemeting whatever function is used correctly) or by glib (by
recovering better from errors like this).
