21.4.8 does not solve fontlock/re-search-forward crash (cygwin)

Build: 21.4.8, cygwin (xemacs-i686-pc-cygwin-21.4.8.tar.gz), Windows 2K Problem: Same as every other build since 21.4.3 (which aborts and survives): Fatal error (11). . . . re-search-forward("--[^-]+\\(-[^-]+\\)*--" 215514 t) # bind (highlights matcher keyword nkeywords iter old-progress progress bufname keywords case-fold-search loudly loudvar end start) font-lock-fontify-keywords-region(1 215514 nil) . . . I note that the release notes say "However, there still remain a few outstanding problems with fontlock that must be fixed before we retire 21.1", but I can't find any description of these problems by searching the archive -- have I hit them, or is this something else?
