I also often get this exception when using gnu-win32 tools in NT 4.0,
but they only occur when I use them from within 4NT batch programs.  I
don't think it has ever happened when executing from the command line.
The exceptions occuring with the b18 tools have bothered me so much that
I've had to replace the tools I use most (grep, diff, tc and ls) with
other NT ports.

By the way - how does uwin32 (or whatever its name is) compare to
gnu-win32?
