Dear Cython developers,

I stumbled upon a strange error when using Cython. I made a minimal working example, see attachment for the two necessary files. (btw I didn't find the e-mail address of Robert Bradshaw so I could not request him for an account on the issue tracker. Is it possible to put the bug on there?)

To reproduce the bug:
1) Reboot to Windows :) (the bug only appears on Windows)
2) Run compile_bug.py to generate the Cython extension
3) Try to run the my_func_exposed function:

python
>>> import complex_double
(does not crash)
>>> complex_double.my_func_exposed(1,1j)
(crashes)
>>> complex_double.my_func_exposed(1,1)

If I put a breakpoint in the code with gdb, jump in the code, and leave the function again, it does not crash! Also, it is no problem on Linux.

It has to do with the fact that in the first case, a real value was used. In the complex-value case, it does not crash. I went through the generated cpp file and I don't see any issues there (the reason I use cpp is because it's in a big project that needs cpp enabled; it is further linked and so on).

gcc version used: 4.6.2 (mingw)
cython version used: 0.18 (I did pip install Cython)
python version used: python 2.7.3 (MSC v.1500 32 bit).

Looking forward to hearing from you!

With kind regards,
Martin
