Hmm... looks like thread 1 is the one that crashes.  Your previous
message indicated that it crashes inside strerror:

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x77c0554a in msvcrt!_abnormal_termination ()
     from C:\windows\system32\msvcrt.dll
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x77c0554a in msvcrt!_abnormal_termination ()
     from C:\windows\system32\msvcrt.dll
  #1  0x77c09bc6 in strerror () from C:\windows\system32\msvcrt.dll

Interestingly enough, I cannot put a breakpoint on that function in my
Emacs binary: GDB says it is not linked in.  Can you put a breakpoint
on strerror?

Also, do I understand correctly that to crash Emacs, all you need is
start it with "emacs -Q" and type "C-g"?  Or is something else
required?
