It looks like we've had exceptions on anything but XP and W2K3 for a long time. The exceptions (as reported on test.winehq.org) for XP and W2K3 started happening after the move to use winetest.exe from test.winehq.org.
I'm not sure which compilers are used. When I use VS2008, the test crashes consistently on Windows, since in debug mode local vars are initialized with a 0xcccccccc pattern. MinGW 3.4.5 either initializes the var to zero, or there happens to be a zero at the right location on the stack when the test is executed. With MinGW cross-compiled binaries the test doesn't crash for me on Windows.
