You are most likely correct. I noticed that the third parameter,
std::string& error_information causes the cygwin test program
to segfault when I call the DLL function. If I compile the DLL
without the third parameter I don't get the segfault. In both cases
all strings are garbled though.
Therefore, I am changing the implementation of my DLL to pure C.
