No, but I could not reproduce the crash without it. Slime can be found on
"http://common-lisp.net/project/slime"

No, just when you kill that particular buffer and slime has been started. I
compiled the same source under FreeBSD and there everything works. Maybe it is a
slime problem, but I think Emacs should never crash, whatever you throw at it. I
tried it with clisp and sbcl as a backend and in both cases Emacs crashed after
closing the connection to the swank backend.

If I recall correctly MINGW was version 5.6 and MSYS version 1.1, but the same
behavior can be seen using the Emacs W32 version from
"http://www.ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html", but I don't know what build
tool configuration was used building that one.

Ok, I'll try that, too. I hope our firewall lets me do that.

Thank you for your hard and good work on Emacs, have a nice day
