You should rather try to use the standalone layout that GNUstep make offers and report back problems with that instead of using a probably outdated set of instructions.
But the problems you are seeing are most likely unrelated. You should be getting the same when using the standard GNUstep layout for Windows. Looks like we need bigger or adjustable buffers when accessing some Windows resources. Sadly your report isn't of much help to locate this problems. Could you provide more context? For example by running your application in a debugger? Has anybody ever used GNUstep on Windows 7 or later?
