Re: [Bug-gnubg] Gthreads under Win

[Jonathan Kinsey]

I've checked in a fix, it was caused by the realigned stack pointer in the
threads (which gcc doesn't align), looks like it needs to be un-aligned at the
end of the function (at least this works for me).

It's quite likely that the threads get aligned coincidently on some windows systems.
