Hi,

It has been for a while that meld can not be used in cygwin. I tried
to bisect the commit which caused it. Below is what I found.

I'm pretty sure those commit SHAs are bad, since none except the last
make any sense. I'm pretty sure that
https://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/commit/?id=8463b8 didn't break
cygwin. However, the crash looks familiar, so...

8463b8 is 8463b80b36a43075dfe1f1a973804c9ada6c7af8
b831bb7 is b831bb7eb50594a708ab4d9f0fc9ac45ca41cce3
0fccdab is 0fccdabd328279ffda5e4c036163e681671d7669

1. commit 8463b8 caused a crash when starting meld in cygwin:

This was fixed shortly thereafter, in
    https://git.gnome.org/browse/meld/commit/?id=bbcf9904b9a2a7656f89908cfe607332fede49e6

Glad to know. Thank you.

2. With commit 8463b8 reverted, commit b831bb7 is good, but commit
0fccdab is bad. No crash dump. Meld just does not start.

Does your username contain unicode? If so this apparently crashes things:
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709058

No. My user name is plain English.

Regards,
Jie
