Runtime error on execution start (Bug #3015)

I am working on a windows 8 machine with Code::Blocks and MinGW gcc 4.7.2
I have downloaded the latest prebuilt binaries (2.4.5) and installed it correctly. My include path looks like this:
F:\Libraries\opencv\build\include
and my linker path like this
F:\Libraries\opencv\build\x86\mingw\lib
F:\Libraries\opencv\build\x86\mingw\bin
I link against:
opencv_core245
opencv_imgproc245
opencv_highgui245
It compiles and links fine, but as soon as I start the appliction it crashes with the error: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.
When I run it with the debugger I get a SIGSEGV on start up. The call stack looks like this: http://pastebin.com/MdnYF86E
The code I am using is very simple and looks like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    cv::Mat image;
    image = cv::imread( "example.jpg", 1 );

    if(!image.data )
    {
        printf( "No image data \n" );
        return -1;
    }

    cv::namedWindow( "Display Image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
    cv::imshow( "Display Image", image );

    cv::waitKey(0);

    return 0;
}

At first I thought it was a problem with my machine setup, but the exact same problem happened with another machine of mine (windows xp laptop). All the details (pretty much the same, slightly different call stack) are here: http://answers.opencv.org/question/8479/runtime-error-0xc0000005-on-windows-with-244-and/
