Hello,

Bellow all quotations by indented by 4 spaces.

I send this report w/o using Emacs because the version which I built for Windows 7 exits immediately.

If I type 

    emacs.exe --version

I get this:

    GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1
    Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    GNU Emacs comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
    You may redistribute copies of Emacs
    under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
    For more information about these matters, see the file named COPYING.

If I type

    runemacs.exe -Q

then is exits without any Windows crash windows, nor any output

If I type the following

    emacs.exe -Q

Then I get on std error the following

    Odd length text property list

And if immediately after this I type

    echo %ERRORLEVEL%


Then I get on std out the following

    -1

attached is a log of a gdb session.

Note: this is not the very latest version of Emacs but a fairly recent one (less than a couple of months) which I tried to build. If you like I can try and make some build log for you.

VBR,
   Vincent.

Please use the latest version of the trunk.  Several problems that
resulted in exactly the behavior you describe were fixed lately, one
of them just a couple of days ago.

I'm closing this bug.  Feel free to reopen if the latest trunk still
exhibits this behavior.
