opendir crashes with -mno-cygwin

[Andre Bleau]

Here is more info about the problem.

The program is built with:

gcc -g -mno-cygwin test_dir.c -o test_dir

cygcheck -v ./test_dir.exe gives:

Found: .\test_dir.exe
.\test_dir.exe- os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
   C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll - os=5.0 img=5.0 sys=4.0
     "KERNEL32.dll" v0.0 ts=2000/5/3 19:43
     C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL - os=5.0 img=5.0 sys=4.0

I tried gcc 2.95.3-1 and 2.95.3-2 with both NT 4.0 SP6A and Windows 2000 SP1.

I attached a copy of the faulty executable. It has been renamed 
test_dir.bug to avoid triggering email virus filters.

Right, it is from the latest mingw package for Cygwin. The include file is 
/usr/include/mingw/dirent.h and the lib is /usr/lib/mingw/libmingw32.a .
