Problems in CVS versions of Emacs are better reported to emacs-devel@gnu.org, not here. This list is for released versions of Emacs. > Ideas for debugging? First, can you try the latest pretest of Emacs 22.1? You can find it here: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.990.tar.gz It is more important now to fix bugs in the pretest because we expect to release v22.1 very soon. By contrast, v22.1.50 is the development version that will not be released for at least a few months. If the above pretest also crashes on 64-bit Windows, the best way to debug this is to run Emacs under a debugger (GDB if your Emacs was compiled with GCC or Visual Studio if it was compiled by MSVC).
