I found this issue occurs after the commit 30add3e6b3e3: "Cygwin: exec: don't access cygheap before it's initialized" . Reverting this commit solves the issue.

I have looked into this issue a bit, and found that
q->sigtls becomes sometimes NULL and access violation
occurs at the following code.
winsup/cygwin/sigproc.cc: 1378
if (q->sigtls->sigmask & (bit = SIGTOMASK (q->si.si_signo)))
{
tl_entry = cygheap->find_tls (q->si.si_signo, issig_wait);
I'm not sure why this happens, however it seems that
the following patch fixes the issue.
diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/sigproc.cc b/winsup/cygwin/sigproc.cc

Corinna, could you please have a look?

I guess this is another problem.

Maybe try what Corinna suggested in https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-December/252720.html for a similar error in Docker? > Try this: > > cp /bin/cygwin1.dll ~/docker-cygwin1.dll > peflags -d0 ~/docker-cygwin1.dll > > Then copy that DLL over to /bin/cygwin1.dll in your docker image > and try again.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Test: ncurses/-demo libncurses/-devel/++/w10 terminfo/-extra 6.4-1.20221231 (TEST)
The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* ncurses 6.4-1.20221231
* ncurses-demo 6.4-1.20221231
* libncurses-devel 6.4-1.20221231
* libncurses++w10 6.4-1.20221231
* libncursesw10 6.4-1.20221231
* terminfo 6.4-1.20221231
* terminfo-extra6.4-1.20221231
Please test these packages as extensively as possible (especially if you
are a Cygwin package maintainer) as libncursesw10 is used in many
libraries including libreadline and utilities including less, vim,
emacs, most other editors, screen, tmux, mail and web clients, and bash.
Package maintainers should install this test release and rerun checks of
as many libraries and packages depending on libncurses{,++}w10 as
possible.
The ncurses (new curses) library is an emulation of Sys V R 4
curses, and more. It uses terminfo format, supports pads, color,
multiple highlights, forms characters, function key mapping,
and has all the other SVR4 curses enhancements over BSD curses.
For more information see the project home page:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses
As there are multiple components and many changes each release see below
or read /usr/share/doc/ncurses/ANNOUNCE and /usr/share/doc/ncurses/NEWS
after installation:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/announce.html#h2-release-notes
Release Notes
These notes are for ncurses 6.4, released December 31, 2022.
This release is designed to be source-compatible with ncurses 5.0
through 6.3; providing extensions to the application binary interface
(ABI). Although the source can still be configured to support the
ncurses 5 ABI, the reason for the release is to reflect improvements
to the ncurses 6 ABI and the supporting utility programs.
There are, of course, numerous other improvements, listed in this
announcement.
The most important bug-fixes/improvements dealt with robustness
issues. The release notes also mention some other bug-fixes, but are
focused on new features and improvements to existing features since
ncurses 6.3 release.
Library improvements
New features
There are no new features in this release.
Other improvements
These are improvements to existing features:
* modify delscreen to more effectively delete all windows on the
given screen.
* modify wnoutrefresh to call pnoutrefresh if its parameter is a
pad, rather than treating it as an error, and modify new_panel to
permit its window-parameter to be a pad
* modify curses_trace() to show the trace-mask as symbols, e.g.,
TRACE_ORDINARY, DEBUG_LEVEL(3).
* improve checks for valid mouse events when an intermediate mouse
state is not part of the mousemask specified by the caller
* allow extended-color number in opts parameter of wattr_on.
* improve _tracecchar_t2 formatting of base+combining character.
* trim out some unwanted linker options from ncurses*config and .pc
files seen in Fedora 36+.
* improve shell-scripts with shellcheck
* improve use of "trap" in shell scripts, using a script.
* modify make-tar.sh scripts to make timestamps more predictable.
These are corrections to existing features:
* modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to allow for the case where the
library directory does not yet exist, since this is processed
before doing an install
* set trailing null on string passed from winsnstr to wins_nwstr.
* modify waddch_literal to allow for double-width base character
when merging a combining character
Program improvements
Several improvements were made to the utility programs:
infocmp
* rewrite canonical_name function of infocmp to ensure buffer
size
* improve readability of long parameterized expressions with
the infocmp "-f" option by allowing split before a "%p"
marker.
* modify verbose-option of infocmp, tic, toe to enable
debug-tracing if that is configured.
tabs
limit tab-stop values to max-columns
tic
add consistency check in tic for u6/u7/u8/u9 and NQ
capabilities.
tput
corrected use of original tty-modes in init/reset subcommands
Examples
Along with the library and utilities, improvements were made to the
ncurses-examples. Most of this activity aimed at improving the
test-packages:
* add minimal -h (usage) and -V (version) getopt logic to all
ncurses-examples programs.
* fix an error in "@" command in test/ncurses.c F-menu
* add curses_trace to ifdef's for START_TRACE in test/test.priv.h
* improve pthread-configuration for test/worm.c
* add setlocale call to several test-programs.
* workaround in test/picsmap.c for use of floating point for rgb
values by ImageMagick 6.9.11, which appears to use the wrong upper
limit.
* use static libraries for AdaCurses test-package for Mageia, since
no gprbuild package is available.
* install Ada95 sample programs in libexecdir, adding a wrapp
