These two reports should be independent of general functionality
(sheepdog, migration). So what you see is most likely unrelated to this.

This warning is just from GDB, not able to locate you sources I guess.

Wonder why we should get a SEGFAULT in that simple function. As
discussed offline, the functionality in general seems to work (if this
function is compiled and run independently in your environment).

But maybe this backtrace is just misleading.

dwPageSize = 0, I assume this is some random data on the stack and
GetSystemInfo never got executed. I wonder where this segfault comes from.

No being a win32/mingw expert, Stefan any idea?
