I have just updated the MinGW tools to the latest versions. These don't include a patch that was intended to ensure NT 4 compatibility, but I don't know if the patch is still necessary.
If anyone is still using NT4, could you please download R-patched, and see if it runs on your system? As of revision 38781 the builds are using the new toolset. This build should be available on CRAN within a few hours, and on the mirrors sometime after that. Go to http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html and check that the page is dated 2006-08-03 or later.
