MinGW Create Calling StackDumps

When I use the unix utility from MinGW make, I get a StackDump file:

Mistake:

sed -i -e 's/reveal.js\/css\/theme\/simple.css/reveal.js\/css\/theme\/moon.css/' index.html
      0 [main] sed 8744 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to sed.exe.stackdump
make: *** [index.html] Error 5

      

        
        
        
      

    

sed.exe.stackdump:

I am getting very similar errors when trying to use tools like rm

, mv

and cp

. What can I do to fix these errors? This makes development on Windows impossible.
