It's a Windows thing, so I don't really know. The best way to report something meaningful about such a crash is to attach a debugger to Emacs _before_ clicking YES, then you could investigate a bit with the debugger. Or, if the crash is reproducible, post the way to reproduce it (as part of a bug report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org). Thanks.
