Re: [Bug-gnubg] More reproducible crashes with Apr 25 2008 build

[Christian Anthon]

Hi Chase,

it sounds like a problem with the progress indicator, or perhaps the
threading implementation itself. However, Jon has made a
simplification of the threading interface since the last preview, so
possibly it will just go away by itself. If you are impatient for a
new version, the instructions for building under windows are fairly
simple to follow and doesn't require any programming knowledge as
such. That might also help us with the debugging if the problem
persists.

Christian.
