I guess you somehow trip on this code fragment from pcterm.c:
/* Print STRING to the terminal at the current position. */
static void
pc_put_text (string)
char *string;
{
if (speech_friendly)
fputs (string, stdout);
#ifdef __MINGW32__
else if (hscreen == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
fputs (string, stdout); <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
else if (output_cp == CP_UTF8 || output_cp == CP_UTF7)
write_utf (output_cp, string, -1);
#endif
else
cputs (string);
}
Which probably means the screen handle is somehow invalid?
