Yes, it's crashing and I reported here on Apr-14. I did try
build with/without image libs, with --disable-font-backend - nothing
helped.
Crash is in the emacs.exe!gc_sweep() Line 6124
Some how vector list become corrupted and vector->next points somewhere
0x6.... which gives us access violation.
I guess that bug was brought with massive changes in alloc/GC on
20080201. My latest working build was on 20071117 and right now I'm
building the HEAD on 20080131 to test that theory.
