Fixed on svn for 0.9, following lots of help from Csaba in investigating this. The issue only showed up on his Vista dual-monitor setup. The problem apparently was that a pointer to a nested function, which accessed local variables of its enclosing function, was passed to EnumWindows(). According to http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Nested-Functions.html that ought to work, as long as the enclosing function remains on the call stack. But perhaps that's only guaranteed to work as long as only gcc-compiled code is involved? On the other hand, compiling with gcc-4 instead of gcc-3 also made the issue go away, so perhaps there was a gcc-3 bug here. I guess I should just avoid obscure compiler features like that.
