Hello,
 I am using Emacs on W2K from CVS (21.3.50) compiled in MinGW32 2.0.

I try setting the default frame properties in 2 ways:
1.
(nconc default-frame-alist
       (list '(height . 40))
       (list '(font . "-*-Arial
       Monospaced-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-standard"))
       (list '(background-color . "light grey")))
This works.

2.
(defconst my-def-font "-*-Arial
Monospaced-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-standard")
(nconc default-frame-alist
       (list '(height . 40))
       (list '(font . my-def-font))
       (list '(background-color . "light grey")))

This hangs Emacs (99% CPU usage in task manager).

 I have no clue and do not know how to debug a HANG using GDB.

with regards,
dhruva
