It appears to be because of a bug in GTK+; the page at
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
says:
The latest version of my port, 19991218, might be buggier than
the next-to-previous version, 1990828. If you have problems
with the latest version, try the 19990828 version instead.
I first grabbed the packages
glib-dev-19991218.zip
gtk+-dev-20000104.zip
extralibs-dev-19991218.zip
which are under "Developer packages" on that page; those produced a
mangled hex dump window.
So I backed up to the 19990828 version, by following the link from that
page to
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/index-19990828.html
and downloaded and installed the "Developer packages" from that page;
that seemed to work better (although it appears that, in the hex dump
window, the boldfaced versions of characters are wider than the normal
version, so the display is a little wrong on the lines that have
selected data).
