Hi Xavier,

I uploaded dg9_2_3-pre9x.zip which includes probes to trace the behavior
of the CFI process on Windows, at pub/DeleGate/alpha/.
I wish you to use pre9x for testing instead of pre9.

Well, I could "reproduce" the problem inserting a code into src/process.c:
callFilter() to cause 0xC0000005 "STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" (SIGSEGV).
(I used a simple code *(char*)0 = 0;)

Then I got a pop-up windows by WinXP to ask bug-reporting which includes
"technical information" as this:

  Exception Information
  Code: 0xc00000005  Flags: 0x00000000
  Record: 0x0000000000000000  Address: 0x000000000000523182

The "Address: .. 523xxx" shows the violation occured around callFilter().
Please let me know this Address field when you get the error.

Studying your log, I thought the location where SIGSEGV happens is limited
into narrow range.  It must be from line 67 to 69 in process.c.
If the CFI process does not reach this section, then the caller process
must block waiting the fread() from a pipe.
If the CFI process passes this section, then the "#### clearConnPTR:..."
message must be logged by clearConnPTR().

A possible but unlikely senario I can figure out is that malloc() returns
somewhat illegal or insufficient area which causes SIGSEGV when written
by fread().
Another possible but unlikely senario is clearing character pointer in
clearConnPTR() caseus SIGSEGV due to alignment problem or so.

Anyway, if it is caused on your machine with 9.2.3-pre9x, the log will
give us great hints.
