A crash is always a bug.  Please report it using M-x
report-xemacs-bug.  If privacy permits, attach the raw message
including full headers and the TIFF image MIME part.  (It may be
easier to create the bug report buffer, save it to a file, then
forward the message as a digest or something and attach the bug report
file.)

If you have a debugger (Cygwin provides gdb, for example), start
XEmacs from inside the debugger, then make it crash.  That should give
you a way to get that kind of information.
