It is just the same as Michel told us from the beginning:

- I have a directory C:\Privé\ab

  emacs -Q

  Eval these (pasted in *Scratch*, M-x eval-bufer):
    (setq find-file-existing-other-name t)
    (setq w32-downcase-file-names t)

  C-x d C:/Privé/ab RET
  C-x C-f cd

That is all. It crashes on "d". (Did I say I am using an unpatched
trunk checkout?)

  C-x
