I was hunting the problem with textmode /tmp and xkb today. The fix I've
submitted long ago never got into the xfree cvs, so the problem is still
there. I'll check it into xoncygwin cvs after a few tests. Maybe this will
fix this segfault too.

I think the functions reading the keymap fail at a bogus newline and return
an improper filled structure with some pointers set to NULL or random data.
