I was just reading up on the MS x64 ABI [1], and the main difference 
seems to be that the caller is expected to allocate 32 bytes of 'shadow 
space' on the stack right before the call so that the function can do 
argument register spill into that space (I guess to make it easier to 
forward to cdecl functions?). It doesn't look like the current 
implementation accounts for that (?), so puts is probably corrupting the 
stack values that are there, and it blows up on return.
