Have you tried capturing the process dump using "USERDUMP" utility from MS? It can be configured to create a mini or a full dump on any exception in a given process. Link to userdump utility from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e089ca41-6a87-40c8-bf69-28ac08570b7e&DisplayLang=en It might make it much easier to debug with a full dump. If you are doubting resource leaks or heap corruption, using the "gflags.exe" (from the resource kit), you can enable extra information in the dumps. USERDUMP also has an ability to collect heap information. Since I have not seen a crash (I use Emacs only for editing C/C++ files), I am not able to analyze. For official work, we use USERDUMP quite extensively. with best regards, dhruva -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Contents reflect my personal views only!
