I installed in the trunk because I couldn't reproduce the problem in
the emacs-24 branch. But you are right: the same faulty code is on
the branch, so I now backported the fix there (r117463).

The buggy code examines memory 1 byte before an allocated buffer, so
the chance of that being outside the program's address space is
evidently quite small.
Memory management on Windows changed dramatically between emacs-24
branch and the trunk, so I guess this is the main reason that the bug
was exposed.
