My pleasure, thanks for doing the porting!

It is possible that the fix I used for the "lvalue required as increment
operand" error is quite wrong, since it doesn't increment the pointer,
and a result of that might be the crash. Here is a random google result
about the error:

I'm using the mingw packages from Debian lenny:

dpkg -l | grep mingw
ii  mingw32                               4.2.1.dfsg-1               Minimalist 
GNU win32 (cross) compiler
ii  mingw32-binutils                      2.18.50-20080109-1         Minimalist 
GNU win32 (cross) binutils
ii  mingw32-runtime                       3.13-1                     Minimalist 
GNU win32 (cross) runtime

Newer GCC versions are generally stricter with bad C syntax.

Sorry, Debian jargon, means Fails To Build From Source.
