Thanks for the confirmation that the fix works for you as well.
As to your question:
"> Now the question is: could that be done at level of source code?"
I am not familiar with the source code, though I did try something like the
following in "../lisp/startup.el", thinking it might work.
Ideally I7d use the below (if (and ...)) structure, but I don't now how to
determine the toolkit emacs was built with. I simply wrote "x-toolkit" to
illustrate.
(if (and (string= system-type "cygwin") (string= x-toolkit "gtk2"))
(setenv "G_SLICE" "always-malloc"))
but, since I don't know how to find the toolkit used I just used the below:
(if (string= system-type "cygwin")
(setenv "G_SLICE" "always-malloc"))
But, this did not work. emacs just crashed. I guess startup.el is called after
doing some processing with the toolkit.
