Fwd: Emacs crashes when I try to quit

My apologies for multiple postings. I'm having this error, everytime I quit
emacs in Windows 7. More details here.
http://superuser.com/questions/576512/emacs-24-3-on-windows-7-does-not-close-properly

On the emacs IRC channel, I was told that the gcc version used for building
this one is a duff one, and rebuilding from another version ought to make
this go away. I was asked to bring this up with someone here on the list,
and there's nothing else that can be done.

I hope you can roll out a new release of emacs on a different gcc version
to prevent this error message.

Thanks in advance.
Surio.

Greetings!

Basically, emacs has crashed on Win XP/7 for me, every time while I closed
it, since 23.x. I'm on the latest release, and being completely fed up now,
I finally decided to do something about it.

The fastest way to provide a context and background of my problem is to
provide this Stack Exchange link:

@Eli told me to get in touch here:



Ask the person who produced emacs.exe to tell you where he/she

Thanks for any help you have on this one, people.

Best,
surio.

Are you still seeing this problem in Emacs 24.3?

The user reports:

--
I moved from 24.3.0 to 24.3.1 on the day it was released, and I
haven't encountered this problem since.

So I'm closing this big report.
