Ok, I see.  You're actually getting something like

GNU Smalltalk version 3.1-c26f213

which you called 3.1.  I thought you were referring to stable 3.1, sorry 
for the misunderstanding.

So, for 3.1 you're getting errors that --disable-generational-gc does 
not fix.  What version are you on?  I only tested XP and Server 2003, 
maybe Vista or Windows 7 are broken.

Also, sorry for the possibly stupid question, but... why aren't you 
trying Linux?  You could still try Windows every now and then, but now 
you'd be up and running.  (Or maybe you have done so).
