bug#9723: 24.0.50; Emacs Clipboard crash

[Joseph Jones]

My job is to develop on Windows using MSFT tools, so I do need the debugger, 
however I will try to set that up as the JIT debugger since most of my 
debugging is non-JIT only. I'll install that and if I get the crash again I 
will debug as best as I can.

Yes, this has happened many times before, I just never remembered to file the 
bug.

I hope you didn't yet click either OK or CANCEL, and so the crashed
session is still running.  If so, there are a couple of things that
can still be done, even without GDB, to gather more info.

Failing that, please go to the Event Viewer (a.k.a. "system log"),
find this event in the "Application" log, and post here all the
information you see when you double-click on the log entry
corresponding to this crash.  While at that, please look in other
types of log, primarily "System" and "Security", and see if there's
any event that happened at the same time.

Also, did this kind of crash happen to you before?

Finally, I suggest to download DrMinGW from this place:

   http://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/wiki/DrMingw

and install it as your system's JIT debugger.  (I hope you don't
develop with Microsoft tools on the same platform, because then you
want the Visual Studio to be the JIT debugger.)  Then, clicking on
CANCEL will cause DrMinGW to kick in and display a backtrace that can
be saved to a file and posted with the bug report.
