Windows DEP problem with nested functions

[Nicholas Sherlock <n.sherlock@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm using GCC 3.4.4 on Cygwin on Windows XP. The following program:

#include <pthread.h>

int main() {
       pthread_t thread;

   void * task(void * arg) {
     return NULL;
       }

       pthread_create(&thread, NULL, task, NULL);
       pthread_join(thread, NULL);

   return 0;
}

only runs if DEP (Prevention of code execution on data pages) is turned 
off in Windows settings. I get a segfault if DEP is turned on. Is this a 
GCC problem, or a Cygwin problem?

Cheers,
Nicholas Sherlock
