bug#22806: 24.5; Emacs crash on Windows 7

[frederik.fouvry]

It is hard to describe when the crashes actually happen, they just
happen fairly frequently, most of the time when I'm using dired-mode
or nxml-mode (but not necessarily only in those buffers, it can also
be the minibuffer).

This is the stack trace that I got.  I don't know if this is of any
help (I only saw the instructions below after restarting Emacs).

Can you try the latest pretest of Emacs 25.1?  It would be more useful
to know if these happen there, and solve them before 25.1 is released.

No, this is from the wrong thread, so it's not useful.

If Emacs crashes frequently, please run it under GDB to begin with,
because then the backtrace will be more informative.  And in any case,
type "thread 1" at the GDB prompt before you invoke the "backtrace"
command.

Thanks.

Sure.  I just compiled it on my machine (all went very smoothly) - we'll
see what happens.

Thanks!

Since the best part of a year has gone by with no futher comment,
I'm closing this.
