You may get a useful stack trace on Windows by using Dr. MinGW:

1) Go to the MinGW Utilities download page on:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=61599
2) Download and unpack mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
3) Install it as the default debugger by going to a command prompt and 
typing:
   cd <path_to_extracted_files>
   cd bin
   drmingw -i
4) Test it by running the tests on the doc\drmingw\samples
5) Run the application which is crashing
6) Click cancel to debug the program.
7) Post the resulting stack trace.

Regards,
Cesar
