It is, of course, quite possible and even probable that there are bugs
in the Win32 implementation of GtkFileChooser et al. It definitely
seems to be broken at least on systems with multi-byte code pages, see
Bugzilla bug #141124. But that bug has been reported only on
Chinese/Japanese/Korean machines. You aren't using such a system, are
you?

I don't understand what you mean when you say that the crash occurs
only when "executing the program in DOS window", but not "under
msys". It shouldn't make any difference at all to GTK whether the
program has been started from a console window's command prompt
(cmd.exe), or MSYS's shell in a rxvt window (doesn't MSYS use a port
of rxvt?), or the Windows Explorer.

Please open a bug report on Bugzilla and attach a minimal but complete
sample program that exhibits the bug.

This sounds very odd...
