The profiling crashes on the win32 side are due to a mangler
problem, causing all kinds of interesting side effects at run-time.
I've got a fix in the works, but before committing I want to spend
some more time understanding why 'gcc' insist on laying out
(and aligning) the profiling-related data structures the way it does.

Hi Hal.
5.04 profiled executables (-prof -auto-all) on Windows just crash on takeoff with or without a dot in their name (ie even without a .exe extension). This is substantially different to the behaviour of HEAD a few days before release of 5.04, which only crashed when fed heap profiling arguments.
Cheers
