Anyone looking at the 'setup.exe' 2.510.2.1 crashing problem?

Sadly, it looks like something really is broken in gcc 3.4.4, and this
warning is not benign. By inserting a bunch of debug statements, I
found that the crash induced with cgf's steps occurs at the "ExitThread
(0)" at the bottom of do_ini_thread_reflector. I installed gcc 3.3.3
and can no longer reproduce the crash.
See also <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-09/msg00159.html>. It looks as
if there might be problems with STL code and -O2 and sjlj exception
handling.
I'm going to release a setup.exe built with 3.3.3 right now, as a
temporary work around.
