Ken,

thanks for the heads-up. I have noticed the announcement and planned to 
give it a try as soon as I'm back in office next week. BTW I've upgraded 
to Emacs 24.4 and experienced one crash since, so upgrading Emacs itself 
does not fix the problem. I'm quite excited about the new Cygwin test 
release as it seems to fix a problem which would nicely explain the 
spurious and non-reproducible nature of these crashes.

regards,
Markus
