I've seen the same problem on 64-bit Windows as well, in Emacs
compiled with a different (newer) version of GCC.  I don't think this
has anything to do with how many registers are there.  I also never
before saw these problems, so this is most definitely due to some
recent changes, I just cannot yet figure out which ones.
