Ok, here goes:

As for thread 2 I'd like to mention that there were several hints on
the Cygwin list that 64 bit Emacs has a timer-related problem, see
e.g. the thread around this post:

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-05/msg00419.html

In brief, I've noticed several error messages in a previous version of
64 bit Cygwin Emacs that did not cause Emacs to crash but indicated
timer-related malfunctions anyway:

Args out of range: [t 21335 39727 373923 0.5 blink-cursor-timer-function nil nil 100000], 4


Invalid function: #[(timer) "^H >^H

    ^[\211^203^Q^@Ã^H	    \"^Q^K\203^Z^@Ã^H

\"^R^L\206^_^@^K*\207" [timer timer-list timer-idle-list cell2 cell1 delq] 4 2245674]


timer-relative-time: Wrong type argument: vectorp, [t1 time high low micro pico nil 3 0 2 ...]

I've never noticed any of these messages on the other 64 bit platforms
that I use Emacs on, i.e. FreeBSD 10 and Debian testing.

Hope this helps
Markus
