Are you sure there's nothing else?  Windows Defender maybe?

Nothing jumps out at me in the cygcheck output.

You might have to run emacs under gdb and put a breakpoint at 
emacs_abort in order to get a useful backtrace.  But I'm not sure it's 
worth putting a lot of effort into debugging emacs-24.3 at this point, 
because emacs-24.4 is already in its pretest phase.  I'm traveling right 
now, but when I return in about a week I'll build the current pretest 
version for you to try.

One other question: Can you find a way to reproduce the problem, or does 
it just seem to happen randomly?

Ken
