The `[Inferior 1 (process 85856) exited normally]' output was made before I exited. FYI, I simplified the batch causing the crash, the minimal content is now: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- start c:\Programme\GNU\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe -Q "--eval=3D(eval-after-loa= d \"Info\" '(dolist (i '(\"c:/Programme/GNU/emacs/share/info/\" \"c:Invali= d/path/info\" )) (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list i)))" -f info "--eval=3D= (Info-menu \"Elisp\")" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I just removed from it the setting of source-directory, and used backslashes for the program path. FYI, it did not launch addpm.exe, and I installed on the same location as a previous installation. The previous installation was also a build from sources, here is its `M-x version' output: GNU Emacs 24.3.50.2 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2013-08-25 on CHOUNEK This 24.3.50.2 Emacs does *NOT* crash when I do the same experiment. My current Emacs is GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2014-09-19 on CHOUNEK So, it seems that the problem is fairly recent --- well on my time scale, which is rather slow compared to you who are active developpers --- as it happened over the last year or so (the interval between these versions is 390 days).
