I've reproduced the crash in squeak.stack.spur Win32 with latest vm sources
(SHA aa11221d9ebb5d60b0b88a2f1f8e27f19909d718)
This crashing VM is compiled with gcc via ./mvm -f

The Win64 version passes correctly. But it is compiled with clang by
default.
The Win32 compiled with clang also passes correctly for me.

The test is translated in pure Alien for purpose of testing on Squeak 5.0
(see instructions below).

--------------------------------------------------------------

from cygwin (or cygwin64) shell:

$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc --version

$ i686-w64-mingw32-clang --version
clang version 3.8.1 (tags/RELEASE_381/final)
Target: i686-w64-windows-gnu

InstalledDir: /usr/bin

$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang --version
clang version 3.8.1 (tags/RELEASE_381/final)

--------------------------------------------------------------

$ cd build.win32x86/squeak.stack.spur
$ ./mvm -f -- CC=i686-w64-mingw32-clang

or for 64 bits:

$ cd build.win64x64/squeak.stack.spur
$ ./mvm -f

--------------------------------------------------------------

$ cat >test.c << END
#include "stdint.h"
int8_t test(int8_t(*function)(int8_t), int8_t value) {
       return function(value);
    }
END

$ i686-w64-mingw32-clang -c test.c
$ i686-w64-mingw32-clang -shared -o build/vm/test.dll test.o
$ build/vm/Squeak.exe

--------------------------------------------------------------

then from Smalltalk image with Alien properly loaded (Alien-eem.39):

Callback>>int8RetInt8: callbackContext regs: regsAlien
    <signature: #(int8 (*)(int8))>
    ^callbackContext wordResult:
        (block value: (regsAlien signedCharAt: 1) asInteger)

(for now, above method must be compiled in each Callback subclass since we
do not ask Pragma to scan superclass for signatures)

TestCase subclass: #AlienCallbackSunit
    instanceVariableNames: ''
    classVariableNames: ''
    poolDictionaries: ''
    category: 'Alien-CoreTest'

AlienCallbackSunit>>createCallback
       ^Callback
          signature: #(int8 (*)(int8))
          block: [ :value | value ]

AlienCallbackSunit>>primCall: aCallback int8: aNumber
       | r |
    (Alien lookup: 'test'  inLibrary: 'test.dll')
        primFFICallResult: (r := Alien new: 1)
        with: aCallback thunk
        with: aNumber.
    ^(r signedCharAt: 1) asInteger

AlienCallbackSunit>>test
      self
        assert: (self primCall: self createCallback int8: 0)
        equals: 0

AlienCallbackSunit new test.
