BTW, the good news is that gctest now works for MinGW even for
multi-threaded tests - I had not noticed that the test program
redefined GC_CreateThread( ) to _beginthreadex( ) instead of
the "normal" GC_CreateThread( ) and this would work only if
the GC was built as a DLL - I was building it as a static
library.

I still haven't put in the SEH stuff, but it's a great relief
to know that things aren't (otherwise) fundamentally broken
just because I'm using MinGW instead of VC or BCC. :-)

Ranjit.
