Hi Robert -- I've always had the same problem. I assumed that it was my installation of cygwin and that if I wiped it clean all would be well. Glad I read your post before I wasted time doing that. Dired is the main culprit for me, too. I frequently have trouble with M-x grep, though, too.

Hi Neil, Thanks for confirming the problem. I still get the same behaviour, but it is mostly shortly after starting up. After a while things seem pretty stable for me. I usually start up two emacs-screens frmo my .xinitrc, and very often one of them crashes as soon as I start using it with dired.
