Meanwhile I think I found the bug. I went ahead and reverted all the changes related to the subprocesses which I made since the 24.2.91 pretest, which you say worked for you. I don't want to hold the 24.3 release hostage by my evidently inept tinkering with this code. The problem I tried to avoid is minor (in comparison with the breakage I caused by the "solution"), and is already fixed on the trunk in a more fundamental way. So I guess Emacs on Windows will need to stay with this problem for a little bit longer, until we deliver a release from the current trunk. I hope the next binary you could try from the emacs-24 branch will work again for you, and the pretest can then continue on its course. Thanks.
