As far as I can tell, the patched Emacs works perfectly when using emacs.exe (and runemacs.exe with unicows.dll). However, when using runemacs.exe without unicows.dll, the program doesn't show the error dialog window or the application window and the process stays hidden in the background instead of exiting gracefully. > It is best to try this in the current development code, or with the > emacs-24.0.90 pretest (which you can find on alpha.gnu.org).
