Here's the same thing, built and run in msw-xp running on bare metal.
This is new--I guess it's a gcc-4.x runtime diagnostic:
  "pure virtual method called"
We didn't see that in msw-7 or in my msw-xp VM. On msw-7, output
strings are truncated as below, but the program runs to completion;
however, there it prints
  In file ../src/msw/window.cpp at line 590: 'SetFocus' failed with\
  error 0x00000057 (the parameter is incorrect.).
twice before any other output.
