Calling ln will result in an seg fault exception. See this output and the attached stacktrace:
$ ln
0 [main] ln 3560 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to ln.exe.stackdump
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
If there is more information needed, don't hesitate to ask for feedback.
ln stack trace dump
Sorry for the first, I forgot to inform about the versions:
Used mingw-get-inst-20100909.exe and the feature to update the catalog. I don't think it is neccesary to publish the gcc version here but anyway:
$ gcc --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 4.5.0

The version of ln I can't get because it casues the seg fault also in case of "--version" argument.
There is the version msys 1.0.16-1 installed because file
msysCORE-1.0.16-1-msys-RELEASE_NOTES.txt
exists in /usr/share/doc/MSYS.
Please ask if you need more information.
I do not see an issue with "1.0.18(0.48/3/2) 2012-11-21 22:34"
