Nope, pretest binaries found on
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/ do not have any .gdbinit file
provided with them. That was my problem.

Development snapshots do well have a .gdbinit file but the latest binary
available is almost one month old (17th of Sep), and, as you said, I can't use
that .gdbinit file for the pretest binary of Emacs 24.2.

Is there any other, more recent, version of Emacs 24.1 or 2 which I could use,
avoiding the bugs which have been fixed in the last days or weeks?

Best regards,
Fabrice
