It works for me on GNU/Linux. Since indent project does not provide
executables for Win64 <e.g. ftp://mirror.easyname.at/gnu/indent/>, I think you
will have to contact your provider of the executable. I believe figuring out
what has changed (Windows, Msys64 standard library, indent executable) is the
key point.
