Please try "r -Q", otherwise your ~/.emacs comes into play, and we
have no way of knowing what's in it.

How did it "exit normally"? did you type "C-x C-c" to exit Emacs, or
did it exit on its own?

Same question here.

This is expected: the program already exited, so its memory is no
longer accessible (it was returned to the host OS).

Doesn't happen for me.

Btw, how come your emacs.exe is in src/ directory? did you copy it
there?
