Now, I start emacs by: gdb --args emacs -q
and input "r" to run it

Gdb console says:
starting program: d:\emacs\bin\emacs.exe -q
[new thread 5860.0x1270]
[new thread 5860.0xa80]
[new thread 5860.0x69c]
[new thread 5860.0x1134]

and then I tried the step 3 and 4 many times with various file names
(e.g. main.c, test.c, etc.). Here the most important thing is that you
should try to hit C-j when the ido-mode is searching. The timing is the
key to catch the bug.

the gdb console says:
gdb: unknown target exception 0xc0000029 at 0x77d10754
program received signal ?, unknown signal.
[switch to thread 5860.0xa80]
0x77d10754 in ntdll!EtwpNotificationThread()
    from C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll
(gdb) warning: Invalid parameter passed to C runtime function. (9 times)

And after I input "c" to continue the program, emacs crashes, with
the gdb console saying:
program exited with code 030000000051
