Well, to our defence, it's not our bug but an MSys issue. The r00t of the problem is the base address of the msys dll, and that relocating it for some reason breaks. So, in the end it depends on you system, and which DLLs msys will pull in there, and what those DLLs base address is. If they collide, and the msys dll need to relocate on your machine, this bug may manifest itself. AFAIK someone on the team is looking into it, but the team is rather small and have limited resources. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially from people that can reproduce the error, which I can't :-( -- .marius
