AFAIK, although we know how to trigger it, we haven't yet identified the
bug - and therefore we are still unable to report it.

I did spend some time a while back trying to create a C script that would
demo the issue, but failed miserably.

Using the mingw64 port of gcc-8.3.0 that ships with StrawberryPerl-5.30.0,
I find it's also exhibiting the bug - just like the  8.1.0 and 8.2.1
mingw64 compilers that I had tried earlier.

Cheers,
Rob
