I don't know why, sorry, but Emacs on Cygwin doesn't make the memory
exhausted, it doesn't freeze, and it bootstraps smoothly these days.
`system-configuration-options' I use now is:
	"--verbose --with-x-toolkit=lucid --without-imagemagick\
	--without-dbus --without-gconf --without-gsettings"
I.e., Emacs is built with glib.

Thanks.

As for the derived bug
"Emacs segfaulting on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE (amd64) during memory allocation."
that is labeled with bug#14569 (the same), I believe it's been solved:
