If this is in "emacs -Q", then I cannot reproduce this in a MinGW
build.  (You didn't say which version, so I tried the 24.3.94 pretest
and a recent trunk.)

If this is not in "emacs -Q", there's likely some optional feature
that causes that.

In any case, attaching a debugger during the freeze and looking what
does the main thread do should shed some light on this.
