Why should it crash specifically on Windows? AFAICT, glib's memory
functions come down to standard {m,c,re}alloc()/free() and so using
free() instead of g_free() should work (at least for the moment).
I also didn't spot any #ifdef's for windows in glib/gmem.{c,h} or is
somehow g_mem_set_vtable() called on Windows?
Greetings
Andreas
