Odd.  Are you sure you are using the current, cygwin gdb?

But let's step back a moment, since I don't think you have the same 
problem as the OP.

Perhaps we need to be a little more specific about what we mean by 
'crashing'.

This log message probably means that the X server is just spontaneously 
deciding it should exit, rather than exiting due to a program error 
signal with the "A fatal error has occurred" dialog.

Can you provide a full Xwin.0.log file, please?

I am assuming that this problem started with xorg-server 1.17 and 
reverting to 1.16.3-1 fixes it?
