A fix for MPR3963 was added in b147d07 (released in 4.01.0) by @damiendoligez. As far as I can see, this fix never worked: I think it's fundamentally broken and on the 32-bit Windows ports it doesn't work and on the 64-bit Windows ports, it causes
Graphics.close_graph
to bring down the runtime.I believe the original intention was that closing the graphics window (via the X button) should result in any calls to
Graphics.wait_next_event
terminating with:but this is done by causing WM_DESTROY to raise an OCaml exception - but the window handler is in a non-OCaml thread, so it cannot possibly raise OCaml exceptions?
