None from me at least, I do not run Verse under win32 at all... I do
think Eskil does, and he should be able to send you a binary of the
server to test.

The problem itself sounds like a bug, perhaps something in the netcode,
but I can't be sure.

Did you try with various degrees of optimization? Blaming the compiler
is not something I'm apt to do very quickly, but optimization is known
to be possibly "dangerous" in the Linux world at least...

Sorry to not be of more help.
