The mingw64 gcc 8.1.0/msys2 I am using granted is not a spring chicken.  I
don't think it's 5 years old, but could be.

That said I did download the latest mingw64/msys2 package:

gcc.exe (Rev6, Built by MSYS2 project) 10.2.0

and I encountered the same crashers using the same configure when compiling.

Maybe it has more to do with the MSVCRT which mingw just uses what is on the
system - C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcrt.dll
I'm running windows 10 which should have a fairly recent MSVCRT.  I wonder
if things would be different on windows 2019.


Thanks,
