Loading 1.8.12 into 2.0.99

[Derek Atkins]

That's not too surprising.  It requires the newer version
to decode the compressed datafile format.   So that's probably
why it failed when you downgraded.

Now, as for why it fails/hangs...  That's a good question.
Keep in mind that the win32 releases are development versions,
not stable versions, so you're using unstable, development
code at your own risk.  I recommend running it under GDB
to figure out where it's hanging and why..
