Since the latest launcher I now am getting more meaningful logged messages in my console.
It pertains to the following string 'LIBGCCW32-EH-2-SJLJ-GTHR-MINGW32'
I've written petition (3244164) which involved wiping hard drive and reinstalling OS and all software and yet I still continue to have issues with Eve, and filed bug reports (161279) on this issue, to no avail without any kind of response from CCP on the bug.

For me personally everything went awry when DUST went live in May 2013. Others seem to have had
this issue going back for years
and CCP continues to ignore people.

I ran:
sudo grep -R 'LIBGCCW32-EH-2-SJLJ-GTHR-MINGW32' /
and it identified
/Applications/EVE Online.app/Contents/Resources/EVE Online.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/CCP/EVE/bin/libsndfile-1.dll
and my cloned version
/Applications/EVE Online Clone 1.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/CCP/EVE/bin/libsndfile-1.dll

Symptoms:
I get these messages and a minute or so delay between trades whenever I am in Jita as I wait for an eternity for the pop up panel to display. When I try and modify the price or quantity from the stack that I am selling it also takes ages.

I get these messages logged each time:

i have noticed the winserver process that Eve uses for Windows Emulation has open ports to:
f5.c0.354a.static.theplanet.com:http
s3-1.amazonaws.com:http
I presume the first is the mining app and second the storage location for the mined data.

http://f5.c0.354a.static.theplanet.com redirects to http://s3.amazonaws.com/gametreemac.updates/
If you call that URL on a client not running eve, you'll get an XML File with an "error code":

"[Error]
AccessDenied
[Message]Access Denied[/Message][RequestId]...some id...[/RequestId][HostId]...yet another id...[/HostId][/Error]"

what happens if you call that url in your browser if an eve client is running on the same client?

Edit:
Use tcpdump[1],[2] to see whats going through the wire.
