This has to be something peculiar to the recent build of Windows 10,
so we must rely on someone with access to that system to debug it.  If
you can afford installing GDB, running Emacs under GDB, and reporting
the backtrace from the crash, we might be able to understand the
problem.  Needless to say, pasting from the clipboard works for me on
my Windows box (not Windows 10).

Thanks.
