A Heisenbug, sigh...

The only way to try to debug this without GDB is to use drmingw.exe,
the Just-In-Time (JIT) debugger for MinGW.  If you don't have it
already in your MinGW `bin' subdirectory, you need to download and
install the mingw-utils package.  It comes with a drmingw.html file
that explains how to set it up to be the JIT debugger, and how to use
it.

Other than that, I'm sorry to say I'm out of ideas.  To proceed with
this problem, we need to establish where Emacs crashes, and why.
