I don't recall how I came to know this (perhaps it was from reading
the documents, but that's highly unlikely ;-) but there's a mailing
list where Tom Griest sends announcements about Gnat for Win32.
For example, last night I got the announcement of the availability
of 3.04a.

What you experienced was a bug that there was already a patch out there
for.  I'm glad the recompile went fine, but it really wasn't necessary.
