Crash on M$ (MinGW build)

[dhruva]

Hi,
 I have been using emacs from git main on M$ built with MinGW. I am getting 
some crashes (not too often though but often enough based on the good stability 
of emacs I am used to).
 I had a perl script open (plain ASCII text), I maximized the window and wanted 
to go to file end immediately. I used page-down key pressed, the emacs window 
just disappeared. I was running emacs under gdb (I wanted to catch this crash 
that has been hounding me from ~20 days), even gdb returned (before I could get 
some back trace). The following lines were the only output from gdb. I will 
keep hunting this elusive bug.

I have seen crashes mostly in "next_element_from_string" earlier too.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0103c553 in next_element_from_string (it=0x82e174) at xdisp.c:6226
6226          if (IT_STRING_CHARPOS (*it) >= SCHARS (it->string))
