[Ingmar Koecher <ingmar.koecher@gm...>]

We've created a setup of makefiles, but compiling under Msys/MinGW
always results in sh.exe crashing:

  0 [main] sh 5680 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to sh.exe.stackdump
make[1]: *** [main.obj] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Interestingly enough, the same compilation works on two other
computers, one of which has a very similar configuration. The computer
where it crashes is a 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise DELL XPS desktop,
with a dual core processor.

The problem is reproducible, it happens every time I attempt to build
the project. I also attempted to build another project on my computer
(which uses a similar set of makefiles, but is a different product)
and it crashes sh.exe as well. But again, it works on other computer.

It originally occurred with version 1.0.11, but I have since applied
the updated files from 1.0.12 (e.g. msys-1.0.dll) to the 1.0.11, along
with the latest version of bash available from the MSYS project:

>sh.exe --version

GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i686-pc-msys)

All this does not seem to help. I have searched the forums and the
web, and the only thing I came across was a bug that involved a
Logitech webcam driver, but that doesn't seem to apply to me.

The content from the sh.exe.stackdump file are as follows:

I'm not sure how helpful this is since I'm running the release
version, but I'd be happy to provide more information if somebody can
point me in the right direction. Since it happens every time,
reproducing it is simple. Also, here is the output from msysinfo:

This is of course one of our main development computers, so any help
you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
