There are several toolchains:

 a) The Mingw project (www.mingw.org):
    - 32bit gcc (i686-pc-mingw32)

 b) The Mingw64 project (mingw-w64.sourceforge.net):
    - 32bit gcc (i686-w64-mingw32)
    - 64bit gcc (x86_64-w64-mingw32)

It helps to know which one you are using as well as the gcc version.

Eli has analysed the cause of this, and his patch will hopefully fix
your problem (and several other obscure crashes seen recently).
