[MLton-user] MLton-20051202 crashes on Cygwin

[Ville Laurikari]

Hi,

For me, any attempt to run MLton on Cygwin (latest stable) ends up in
a crash with "Illegal instruction".  

It would seem that the crash happens at some early stage, probably
during some initialization phase.   The actual crash seems to be
happening in GMP code.

Has anyone else seen this?

Here's what I can think of showing about the crash:
