Maybe, but I'd appreciate any ideas how this could happen.

For now, I've narrowed this down to the following command:

  "./../bin/emacs.exe" -batch --no-site-file --no-site-lisp -l loaddefs  -f 
batch-byte-compile-if-not-done expand.el

When this command is issued in the lisp/ subdirectory, it fails with
emacs.exe that is the one produced by the first build during the
bootstrap (see the `bootstrap-temacs' and `bootstrap-emacs' targets in
src/makefile.w32-in), but succeeds if I do the same with an Emacs
binary that is built normally.  The only difference between these two
binaries is that the former is built with -DPURESIZE=5000000, while
the latter uses PURESIZE defined on puresize.h.
