My plan is to use strace to see whether there are different libraries loaded in the two cases, and whether this could be causing the trouble. However that will be something that requires care and concentration. As I am suffering (almost literally ;)) from a mild case of flu, moving to MinGW/MSYS will probably be more productive.
