While attempting to build trunk@31407 I get the following failure using both mingw.org GCC 4.5.2 and tdm-gcc GCC 4.5.2 on Win7 Ultimate 32-bit. The build successfully completes and "make test" passes when trying to reproduce with Arch 2.6.38.

I suspect trunk@31396 to be the root cause.

Thank you Nobu.

The build completes OK on Arch and tdm-gcc 4.5.2 (Win7 32-bit) but "make test" appears to hang/stick (timeout?) somewhere in test_thread.rb.

I'll try with mingw 4.5.2 and mingw-w64 4.5.3 and report back if there's anything relevant.
