bug with profiling things with "strange" filename

[Sigbjorn Finne]

The profiling crashes on the win32 side are due to a mangler
problem, causing all kinds of interesting side effects at run-time.

I've got a fix in the works, but before committing I want to spend
some more time understanding why 'gcc' insist on laying out
(and aligning) the profiling-related data structures the way it does.
