That's been my suspicion (it's either Windows or Eu).

I should be a little more specific. It's when memory other than that for
the structure is declared. Try this (at least in v053):
-- begin code
include win32lib.ew
constant mem = allocate(4)
-- free(mem)
constant
Win = create( Window, "Test", 0, 0, 0, 300, 300, 0),
CB = create( Combo, "", Win, 20, 20, 90, 200, 0)
WinMain( Win, Normal )
-- end code
Then try uncommenting the call to free(). On my machine (Win98), this makes
ChildWindowFromPoint work again. However, when I compile, the program
crashes.

I don't think the rebar thing is win32lib specific. It runs fine
interpreted, but crashes compiled (unless you only create children of the
rebar after all bands are created). Since, according to Rob, interpreted
and translated/compiled Euphoria code should run the same, my best suspect
right now is the translator itself (or LCC).
