Comment (by malcolmw):

 There is a possibility that this is a conjunction of some weirdness in the
 particular version of the MS VC++ runtime, together with a weirdness in
 the ghc initialisation.  Unfortunately, we have not been able to check a
 different version of the MSVCRT on that machine.

 Also, sadly, it is not a possibility for us to build our C++ DLLs with gcc
 on Windows.
