Fantastic, thanks!

Looks like that. One does not necessarily lead to the other. So far, gdb 
just sometimes shows that exit status is not normal.

Run and immediately exit:

(gdb) run
Starting program: C:\Users\gutov\vc\emacs-bzr\trunk\src\emacs.exe
[New Thread 2704.0x304]
[New Thread 2704.0x1450]

directory

[Inferior 1 (process 2704) exited normally]
(gdb)

Run, launch gnus, mess with it a bit, exit:

(gdb) run

The latter scenario, when executed outside of gdb, usually leads to 
dialog "... has stopped working".

I'm the owner of ~, ~/.emacs.d and ~/.emacs.d/backups, yet if I toggle 
debug-on-error on, I still see the following when exiting:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Setting ACL" "operation not 
permitted"

Apparently, because ~/.recentf is still owned by Administrator. I'll fix 
that, no problem. Just another special case.
