Please try again when you can.  This was actually a crash (didn't you
see a popup asking whether to debug or close the application?), due to
the fact that w32 file notifications, as implemented, did not support
batch mode of operation -- they relied on machinery that is only up
and running in interactive sessions.  This should be fixed as of trunk
revision 115269.

The other part of the puzzle was that auto-revert-stop-on-user-input
should be bound to nil when running the rest of the tests in
file-notify-tests.el, but Michael already fixed that part earlier
today.

There are still a few (6 on one machine, 3 on another) tests that fail
on Windows, but there are no more crashes.
