Can you provide a *minimal* but *complete* sample program (just one
source file) that crashes in the same way?

If you use the Windows GLib packages from ftp.gnome.org, then yes,
they are not for use by Cygwin programs, so you should use mingw to
compile code that uses them.

wsock32 in particular has little to do with it. Cygwin is just a
completely different operating system (even if it happens to run on
top of Windows), so you should not use non-Cygwin libraries in Cygwin
programs. (Unless in very special cases when you know exactly what you
are doing. GLib is not such a case.)
