Checked in.  It's not necessarily limited to Win32; it may blow up if
GLib is built with either malloc debugging or malloc profiling enabled.

I don't know of any good reason not to - "except.c" probably didn't use
it because Gilbert just brought in Kaz Kyhelku's file and because Kaz
just used "malloc()" so his exception package wouldn't depend on GLib.
