I don't think we can link the two issues for sure
like this...
> Is this fixed now?
AFAIK, no. However, this is something that almost
anyone should be able to take up since this is
a standalone package downloadable from:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/
and builds out-of-the-box for MinGW/MSYS with
"./configure" followed by "make".
"make gctest.exe" builds the GC tester program that
gives a GPF for me and that I refer to in the message
you point to.
