It wasn't? Now, I'm only a developer, but I don't think Jeremy's work to
get CircleMUD compiling on Windows was an accident. In particular,
Patchlevel 11 has a lot of that work.

"recently"?
Over 5 years ago (April '96)
"trying"?
I believe patchlevel 11 took care of that.
"WIP"?
We broke Cygnus a few patchlevels ago but that's because it was
giving us "\r\n" in string functions instead of "\n".

The above error is due to trying to dereference a NULL pointer to a
structure. That's the reason you see "0x00000005", because it tried to
access some structure member (offset 5) of the NULL pointer (0x0).
