After some investigation, I have confirmed that mingw + 1.9 + EM is a no 
go currently.  Seems to work all right with 1.8.6 + mingw + EM.

I would recommend the pure ruby EM except it seems to leak on my 
machine.
Another thing would be to use rev as a backend to EM.

http://github.com/rogerdpack/rev/tree/master

has the latest and greatest (that compiles on mingw 1.9)
so I'd git clone it
run rake package
then install the .gem file it generates.
Then it's

require 'eventmachine'
then
require 'revem' # override EM to use rev + libev as the backend

Let me know if you try it :)
Cheers!
