Comment:

 The first bug is #7097, there's a long discussion there (but no solution).
 What I don't understand is that we have lots of C code in libraries that
 calls functions in Windows DLLs, and it all works fine in GHCi, so what is
 special here?

 The second bug does look like #7134, as you say.  So I'm closing this as a
 duplicate, and I'll add a ref from #7097 and #7134.
