Same here (GCC 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)). It appears 
that this compiler defaults to --malign-double. When I
specify --mno-align-double the test succeeds.

Both MinGW compiled tests fail here on Wine. The pipe test
also fails on Win98. These tests have in common that they
start a subprocess/thread and then should communicate or
synchronize with those. My guess is that the tests have races.
