Say, what's that doing there? Might like to check who's pulling it in, just
in case something's gone all win32 on you that shouldn't be.

Let's hope AVG hasn't gone (even further) over to the dark side.

So, the dreaded jump-to-zero. Always a tricky one, since by the time you
get there you have no idea where you came there from. Except that we suspect
fork(). I'd set a breakpoint on the start of fork and another one on the ret
at the end of it, (did you try mingw gdb yet? it might be easier here than
windbg since it'll understand the symbols, but if you can't get it to work
then you can manually look up symbol addresses and set the breakpoints by hex
address), and then I'd restart the program, note the value of $esp and verify
a sane-looking return address on entry to the function, let it run to the end
of the function and find out if the stack pointer wasn't back at the same
location or if the return address there had been corrupted. The second of
those could potentially be tracked down using a hardware breakpoint
(watchpoint in gdb terminology), the first of those two would require reading
the code to see why it's not popping and pushing in equal amounts.
