Comment(by robe):

 Ah great this one still crashes on my windows 7 64-bit 9.2 install running
 postgis 2.1.0beta3


 {{{
 PostgreSQL 9.2.4, compiled by Visual C++ build 1600, 64-bit
 POSTGIS="2.1.0beta3dev r11540" GEOS="3.4.0dev-CAPI-1.8.0 r0" PROJ="Rel.
 4.8.0, 6 March 2012" GDAL="GDAL 1.10.0, released 2013/04/19"
 LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="UNKNOWN" RASTER
 }}}

  with my gcc 4.5.4 build using sjlj error handling (this mingw64 chain

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/sezero_4.5_20111101/
 )


 ,but doesn't with my new and improved gcc 4.8.0 using seh error handling.
 this chain (
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.8-release/
 )

 sjlj-vs-dwarf-vs-seh

 Thanks Mark for the suggestion.  I think this might be the solution I've
 been looking for.  Now to go thru all the other error handler crashers to
 see if this fixes them and I'm not night dreaming and then do a full
 regression and crash testing against my edb 64-bit install.
