Yes, it still hangs when run under setup from explorer.  No output from
the hung one, or when run stand alone in bash.

Well, I didn't link explicitly with SHLWAPI.DLL, but same here.

There will be no ouput unless main calls foo, right?  Then, I still get a
hang under setup from explorer; no output.  Stand alone in a shell, output
is:

DLL loaded: process attach
DLL loaded: thread attach
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The SEGV is expected given the code is invalid anyway.

Nothing to see here... move along...
