Thanks. These crashes are very mysterious to me.  Two of them have 
recently been reported to the emacs bug tracker, including one by me a 
couple hours ago:

   http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17526

Unfortunately, nothing in the backtrace (yours or mine) is giving me any 
clue.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable, especially about the Cygwin-w32 
build, will have some ideas.  (Daniel?)

For future reference, here are some suggestions:

1. Once you've started gdb, give the command "source 
/usr/share/emacs/24.3.90/etc/.gdbinit".  This defines some gdb commands 
that are useful for debugging emacs.  Among other things, this will 
cause the "backtrace" command to include a lisp backtrace.

2. After getting a backtrace and reporting it somewhere (see item 3 
below), keep the gdb session open, if possible, in case someone wants 
you to try to get more info.

3. If you are willing to help debug these crashes, send your backtraces 
as emacs bug reports instead of sending them to this list.  You can do 
that easily via the command `M-x report-emacs-bug' within emacs, or you 
can just send email to bug-gnu-emacs AT gnu DOT org.
