The file etc/DEBUG gives some hints on how to debug crashes inside GC,
search for "Debugging problems which happen in GC".  Near the end of
nt/INSTALL, you will find some advice on how to use Visual Studio to
debug an MSVC build.  I hope those two will give you enough
information to at least begin the debugging.

The first task is to find out which Lisp data structure gets
corrupted.  Can you do that?
