Hi Simon.

| | Interesting: I'm using gcc 3.2.3 (just a bog-standard installation of

| | that?

| OK.

That went through without any GHC compiler crashes and only 369 unexpected
failures as the mailout to cvs-ghc last night showed:

$ c:/lang/MinGW-3.1.0/bin/gcc --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)

Of course, it could also be a MinGW32 runtime or win32 library/header bug.
