AW: Connecting idle-signal aborts my program

["Daniel Kraft" <d daniel-kraft net>]

I experimented a bit, and found out that a Glib::Dispatcher's connect also aborts my program. This is also true for the two dispatcher examples shipped with Glibmm documentation.

So I suppose it's a problem with my installation or with the Windows system in general. Does anybody know this problem? What can be done?

Thank you!
Yours,
Daniel Kraft
