Thanks for the test. Could you also grab a windows version of GDB and
get a backtrace of the libcairo crash (with the "original" DLL from our
installer)? I can provide a DLL without the debug symbols stripped, if
needed.

Meanwhile, I'm going to build another version with libpng 1.6 instead
of current 1.4. That is the only visible difference from the "good"
libcairo.
