XEmacs had crashes due to strftime on Windows native with VC++.  Never
went so far as to BSOD, but a couple of users lost recently input
data. :-(  IIRC Cygwin was OK (their libc uses a different code base).
Dunno mingw, almost all of our users either want the full Cygwin
environment or they don't care about GCC, but since mingw uses MSFT
runtime, it's probably vulnerable too.
