Emacs crashes when I try to quit

Emacs crashes when I try to quit

Dear all,
I encountered a problem that Emacs crashes when I try to exit the program.
Any of C-x C-c, File -> Quit, and using the mouse to close the program
leads to the problem.
The platform I use is Windows 7 64bit with emacs 23.4.1. I have not change
anything in any files after I re-installed emacs and it  still has the
problem.
The picture in the attachment was reported by the system. I translate them
into English as follows:

Actually I do not think these information will help much. But something is
better than nothing.

You can put

	(setq debug-on-error t)

into your init file to get possibly a *Backtrace* buffer which might explain the cause. Restart GNU Emacs after this change!

You can investigate further the value of the variables site-run-file and user-init-file. Then determine which files in the file system are actually used. Now you can temporarily rename site-run-file and see whether something has changed. If yes, than the site-run-file is the culprit. If not, then undo the renaming and now rename your own init file and test again. If this has changed the behaviour, then in your init some statement causes the problem. Now you can undo the renaming and try bi-secting your init file to find the culpable statement. Bi-secting means to comment one half and see whether the fault has. If it has gone, then it is in the commented half. You can undo the commenting and comment only one half of what was commented before. When the error is gone, then it's in the commented region. Uncomment and then comment one half of what was commented previously. New test. Iterate further.
If the error was not gone with the first commenting, then it is in the second not commented half. So undo the first commenting and comment the first half of the second half, i.e., the third quarter of your init file. Error gone? Then it's in the commented region, otherwise it is in the uncommented quarter. Further iterate.

In the end you'll find the statement that cause the problem.

Hi,



I got a similar problem with emacs on Win 7 64 bit. I looked into Event Viewer 
and saw:

Faulting application name: emacs.exe, version: 24.2.0.0, time stamp: 0x503d72ca

Faulting module name: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 
0x4bc96cad

Exception code: 0x40000015

Fault offset: 0x00016646

Faulting process id: 0x2578

Faulting application start time: 0x01cddc67da6670ae

Faulting application path: C:\emacs\bin\emacs.exe

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\gnuplot\binary\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

Report Id: 1a09d21e-485b-11e2-b445-005056c00008

 

Removing the gnuplot installation from disk, registry and env varibles fixed the 
issue.



Good luck !

So the conclusion is that libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll that came with gnuplot is
incompatible with what Emacs was linked against.  To solve this
without having to remove gnuplot, find the file libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
that Emacs is using now (e.g., by using the "depends" program), and
copy it into the same directory where you have emacs.exe.
