Hello, The issue was encountered when debugging a problem with omnisharp-emacs package where starting a server process (written for and running in a .NET/CLR VM) crashes emacs with a segfault. Recompiling with -g -O0 has revealed a problem in implementation of w32_executable_type in src/w32proc.c where the code is attempting to list DLL imports in a binary but the import table points to NULL. This code works for .NET binaries compiled for x86 so the problem is specific to 64 bit Windows / .NET DLLs. The callstack of a crash is below and I have a patch attached that fixes the problem. The patch applies cleanly to both master and emacs-25 branches. I am omitting any standard report-emacs-bug information from below as I am submitting this report from a different machine than the one that experiences the problem. Hopefully that is not a big issue. ======= 8< =========== Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
