Hi all

cygwin version:  CYGWIN_NT-5.2 rearick3 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-11-10
08:34 amd64 unknown unknown Cygwin.

I am uncertain if the platform above is an "officially supported"
platform, but apparently the same problem behavior is exposed on
officially supported environments, as it was indicated to me.

The testcase below from Gengbin Zheng demonstrates a program hang/crash
when envoking fibers (switchToFiber call).  Might it be related to SP2
and/or version of win32api? cygcheck.out is attached.  

Can the issue be fixed or is there a fix already?

thanks
------

name this file as fiber.c  (note make it a C file, not C++)

now compile it under VC++, it runs as expected.
when compile with gcc:   gcc -o fiber fiber.c
It crashes at SwitchToFiber call.
