My reading of the above ( http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/src/event-context.... suggests that you are looking at changes occurring between v11889 (may 21) and v12394 (jun 19). However, please note that the official version 0.44.1-1.win32 (sep 9), brought out three months later, DOES NOT have this problem. Why does that version work and nightly versions to date do not?
Because 0.44.1 was made from the 0.44 branch which was branched before this change was made to the trunk.
Anyway, Scislac: I just tested your build with this change reverted and it does not crash anymore on Windows 2000. So, unless you have an idea of what might be wrong-but-fixable in that code, let's revert it in the trunk (just commit after applying that patch that I sent you).
Special thanks to Mental for giving us a hint on what's going on :)
Lesson learned: Whenever you find out that SVN does not build or does not work on Windows, please ring the bell on the mailing list IMMEDIATELY. It is much easier to guess what might be wrong if the changes are fresh. In this case, I guess this was made worse by the cairo-pdf patch which made SVN uncompilable on Windows for months and nobody cared. Let's make sure this does not happen again.
