The problem was the same one as in

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/archives/pari-dev-0305/msg00040.html

It was cured by upgrading to the newer Pari.exe binary compiled using gcc-3.3
(available from the download page at http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr).

It would be interesting to know whether the problem still occurs in your
configuration and current CVS ( and current/stable gcc ? ).

Cheers,
