This is not the case.

Did you use the makefile to build it? I'm thinking that those specific compile and link flags are key to the triggering condition.

I've gotten it to crash at least three or four times on several windows 7 boxes of wildly differing configurations. No confirmed trials on a windows eight box, the bug may have been fixed there.

I also ran it on Windows 7 (64-bit). Nothing happens, although the prompt was displayed. It wasn't on Windows 8. The program doesn't do anything special. Either you're running some other version of the program, or your report is incorrect.
Was able to reproduce and get a dump on Win7 32-bit, but had to run the program more than once.
I think I was able to reproduce it myself. Yesterday I ran your program on one particular laptop, tried to get it to crash but it didn't. Then today when it woke up from sleep, it suddenly bluescreened. I think you may onto something here...
Yes, I used the makefile. Certainly it is possible that it has been fixed.
