I believe that would be my fault -- sorry about that.  MinGW 64

not.  This patch looks good to me, thanks for the help!

You learn something new every day... I had no idea this existed (I've
always been a Visual Studio person, and rarely use MinGW of any
variety).  Now I know I've got something else to test next time.  :-)
