trying to insert the file, to send the bug report...)

Sorry, this is not usable.  This backtrace is from the top-level
exception handler, which is called for unhandled exceptions, and at
that point there's no trace of application call-stack in sight.

Once again, I urge you to install GDB and run Emacs under GDB at all
times, so that the debugger gets a chance to see the exception before
it is caught by the top-level handler.  (You will need a 64-bit build
of GDB, since you are using a 64-bit Emacs.  The MSYS2 site has such a
GDB available.)

[Glenn Morris]

Nothing can be done with this information.

See bug #23935.  And #22058.  Etc.

Installing GDB and all the rest (e.g., Python) that is
apparently required is not feasible for me.  Time spent in vain.

Emacs 25 is completely unusable - for me.  Too bad - for me, at
least.

This is a different installation, so it might be easier.

I'm sorry to hear that, but you cannot really blame us.  We did
everything we could to find out what's wrong with Emacs in your usage
patterns.

It could still be fixed, if you can afford to invest some more time in
helping us investigate this.
