If you use the MinGW port of GCC to build, you don't have an alternative, anyway, as there's no 64-bit of that yet. > I also wonder how the above differs from what's in CVS.

The differences are not very large, so if you prefer to debug this in the CVS version, go ahead with that. > >> 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). > > Yes, I know that's the best way, but it does require knowledge of > emacs internals that I do not possess. But others do, and if you produce information from the debug session, they will guide you through the process. But please, if you decide to give it a go, report the results on emacs-devel@gnu.org, not here. Thanks in advance.
