Regular mingw programs do work, oddly enough.

This really has me stumped because it seems to work fine in Win98 and
users of my software have had no problems in WinNT either.

It just seems weird that mingw programs will load everything just fine but
a mingw dll will not. And only in Win2k.

I'm I right in guessing this is first time someone's had this problem?
