bug#6919: Random crashes during garbage collection

[Juanma Barranquero]

Version: 24.0.50
Package: emacs,w32

This is a compilation of the trunk, configured with --no-opt, on
Windows, built with the Twilight Dragon Media release of MinGW:

C:\...\src> gcc.exe  --version
gcc.exe (TDM-2 mingw32) 4.4.1-dw2

I update from the trunk, recompile with

cd lisp
make update-subdirs
make cvs-update
make install

and I get random crashes during garbage collection (two examples
follow). It has not happened so far with an optimized build from the
same sources.

I cannot repeat the crash at will, so this is just for informational purposes.
