Infrequent failures may be uninitialized variables or Windows memory layout
issues.  There are no fixes in last month of CVS I would expect to make 
any changes in this behavior.

Okay, this sounds better.

I don't understand exactly what's happening.  Do you mean you are launching
emacs from bash, and emacs fails and takes bash with it?  Does it give a
crash traceback or does NTVDM just go away?

Does emacs work at all?  Does it work run standalone?
