[possible bug with either mingw or DynaLoader under win98, narrowed down

Now I just need to find out what the difference is between the 2 dll's.
MS's Dependency walker (Depends.exe, comes with the platform SDK)
loads both fine, and doesn't reveal anything very useful, but a binary
diff of the 2 files (which are, incidently, exactly the same size) shows
areas of significant difference. I have no idea if this is expected or
not, but my gut feeling is that it is suspicious.
Off to find a mingw forum/list.
As a final follow-up: Before posting a bug report to the MinGW team I
downloaded the candidate release for gcc 3.4.5, and the problem goes
away. I should have tried this earlier :-)
For clarification my MinGW install is now:
gcc-core 3.4.5
binutils 2.16.91
mingw-runtime 3.9
w32api 3.6
Thanks for listening.
Rob.
