I'm using Win2k (service-pack 2). Occasionally (once every few days)
emacs crashes on me. I'm not using the absolute latest CVS sources,
but I already updated and rebuilt once to see if this problem goes
away and it hasn't yet.
Luckily, I have VC++ installed, so here is some info on why it
crashes.
It crashes in w32bdf.c, in get_cached_font_char
The fontp->chtbl is invalid (an obviously bad pointer value of 17),
which is what is causing the crash.
The stack is:
get_cached_font_char
get_bitmap_with_cache
w32_BDF_TextOut
w32_text_out (here I see that the bad fontp is coming from a variable
which is s->gc->font->bdf, where s and s's gc, look ok, but the gc's
font looks corrupted (for example the font_type is 789185035, and both
the font's bdf and the per_char seem invalid))

Our main current Emacs-on-Windows person is currently off the net, and
no one can debug this unless it fails for him. You may have to debug
this yourself.
I'm using Win2k (service-pack 2).
In hacker terminology, calling something a "win" is a form of praise.
If you wish to praise Microsoft Windows, you're free to do so; but if you
don't, then you might want to think twice about using the term "win2k".

FWIW, I'm using the CVS HEAD on the same set up (W2K) and I haven't had
a crash in months.
