Thanks Christo. Apologies for 4 messages coming in at once. I think there were a few technical glitches with the mailing list. Either way, I have submitted an updated patch to the bug report in question that corrects the stack unwinding for Windows. Any testing would be greatly appreciated (I'm not in a position to rigorously test the code for Linux).
Yeah, I got a little emotional with Thaddy's response (which has since been deleted), partly because he mocked me a bit for even attempting to use assembly language for optimisation. Granted, I tend to do more low-level and mathematical programming than higher-level components, where assembler optimisation can really pay dividends. Plus in a perverted way, I actually enjoy trying to squeeze another microsecond out of running time! Gareth aka. Kit.
