 I can run mono on windows and I use that libgc, which, btw, is the one
 shipped with the installer.

+I just verified that I only get the issue on Windows XP (SP1). Using 
+the exact same cygwin environment on Windows 2003 works fine.
+
+On Windows XP SP1, I only have this problem when using both the 
+gc.dll and the headers from the new libgc release.  Everything works 
+fine if I use the new gc.dll, but the old headers files.
+
+I also have no problems using a Mono runtime built on W2K3 (with the 
+new libgc) on Windows XP (SP1).
+
+If I recall correctly, everything worked fine prior to installing 
+Windows XP SP1, so it might be due to extra (memory ?) protection in 
+SP1 or so (but why would it only surface when using the new header 
+files?).
+
+I do have a workaround (meaning using the old header files), so I 
+don't mind lowering the priority of this issue...
+
+Are any of you using XP SP1 too ?
