# "__unexpected_handler" is a macro to variable "__w32_sharedptr_unexpected",
# and there was not init.  Internal function "_w32_sharedptr_initialize" was
# not called before main starts.
# 
# This is the standard function tree, started from a section .ctors in
# crtend.o:
#   __reg_frame_ctor
#     __do_frame_init
#       __w32_sharedptr_initialize
#       __register_frame_info
# 			  
# Problem is, that "*crtend.o(.ctors)" in linker script does not include the
# function pointer to "__reg_frame_ctor".  With other words: The default
# linker script from mingw32 not loads contructors from crtend.o.  This is a
# ultra big BUG!
