Compliance!

 whatever> gdb ./oo/i386/emacs.exe
 (gdb) watch interrupt_input_blocked
 (gdb) commands
  >p interrupt_input_blocked
  >bt 5

 (gdb) run ....

Now each time interrupt_input_blocked will change its value, GDB will
kick in, perform the named "commands", and let Emacs continue.  Do
whatever you need to reproduce the crash, then look at what GDB
printed, and see if the increments/decrements of this variable come in
pairs, as they should, or not.  Note that they could be nested, so
just 2 increments in a row are okay if there are 2 decrements in a row
after that.

See the definitions of BLOCK_INPUT and UNBLOCK_INPUT, for more
insight.
