I think I had the same problem at some time as well.
Try call EvalCacheResize(0); right after EvalInitialise.

I managed to compile a gnubg.dll and a test program. Can you check
what you get out of the files in this archive:
http://home.online.no/~oeysteij/gnubg-dll.zip

There's also a gnubg.dll file in the archive and it's compiled with xml
support in case you want to use a different match equity table. There's also a
dlltest.c file to test the dll file.

I can not guarantee that the dll file can be used from other programs than
mingw compiled stuff, but you may try to call it from Excel or anything else.
(And try MSVC). I just exported four functions in this file: EvalInitialise,
FindBestMove, GeneralCubeDecisionE and EvaluatePosition. If you need any other
function, just add it to the exports table in gnubg.def
