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 :-(
