Any of the other Windows devs seen this? If not, could it be a
difference in compiler or OS, or different set of dependencies?

Any idea what could be the cause, and what to do about it?

FYI, I used these dependencies:
Httpd 2.2.19
Apr 1.4.5 (as included with httpd)
Apr-Util 1.3.12 (as included with httpd)
Apr-Iconv 1.2.1 (as included with httpd)
Neon 0.29.6
OpenSSL 1.0.0d
Serf 1.0.0
SQLite 3.7.7.1
ZLib 1.2.5

Build environment: Visual C++ 2008 Express on Windows XP SP3.
