Thanks for tesing.

Thanks for the test case. I tried this test case, however,
I cannot reproduce the second problem, i.e. all 100 processes
exited normally.

To increase system load, I also tried:

#define UNICODE
#define _UNICODE

#include <process.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  wchar_t buf[1024];
  swprintf(buf, 1024, L"x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc test.c -o %s", argv[1]);
  int ret = _wsystem(buf);
  if(ret != 0) printf("FOUND %d\n", ret);
}

and

#!/bin/sh
for i in $(seq 1 200); do ./a.exe $i & done

but, no error was found...

How many cpu cores and how much memory does your system have?
