Definitely related to #1473.

If you force terminal to xterm instead of default xterm-256color it works properly.

set "PATH=%ProgramFiles%\Git\usr\bin;%PATH%" & "%ProgramFiles%\Git\git-cmd.exe" --no-cd --command=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-msys2-64.exe -t xterm /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -i -new_console:p

I had the same problem. Setting TERM=xterm (default was cygwin) in the command seems to fix the issue, at least for the moment. I got a nice less stackdump which is probably unusable as is (and by the way, using TERM=xterm makes vim works strangely).

Note: gitbash + conemu did not always fail (eg: in some console, I can use less and in some other it crash, while the problem on #1473 is always reproducible.
I also tried to revert to a version (latest 2.14 as far as I remember) but it still failed.

[edit] git log use less (with TERM=cygwin, as seen in Process Explorer); and less fails with TERM=cygwin. However, git log still works. Also, as I use Ctrl + Shift + O to vertically split the windows, the second git bash successfully starts less without dropping a stackdump.

I'll try again with 2.14 whenever I get the time to (Git-2.14.2-64-bit.exe which is old).

Even the plain Git Bash stop working. Have to go into the ~/.minttyrc and remove this line in order for it to work:
Term=xterm-256color

Could you test the newest snapshot from https://wingit.blob.core.windows.net/files/index.html, please? I hope it fixes this issue (which I believe is the same as in #1473).
