Error goes away with -O0. Or I just didn't manage to reproduce that.
In my observation error depends on memory layout or something. So, it
might be that I just didn't manage to reproduce it with -O0 while it
really still persists. I didn't try other compilers yet.

Valgrind isn't installed there. I'm not sure how to do that, but I
will probably try.
The interesting thing is that on failure I got following backtrace.
#0 0x00007ff94f86a458 in ntdll!RtlRaiseStatus () from
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
#1 0x00007ff94f87760e in ntdll!memset () from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll

So, error happens inside implementation of siglongjmp(). I've checked
that contents of *PG_exception_stack didn't change since previous
successfully thrown error. Probably this implementation of long jump
saves some part of state outside of sigjmp_buf and that part is
corrupt. Any ideas?
