Got it; thanks.

Unfortunately, I cannot get much in the way of results that way, for this test
at least.

After `(gdb) continue', I followed the recipe I followed before to produce the
crash.  When it would have crashed before (i.e., without gdb) it now just seemed
to hang.

I can, however, see this in the command-prompt window (outside Emacs):

At that point, I did get the MS Windows "encountered a problem and needs to
close" dialog box, and clicked button "Send Error Report", and Emacs exited.

Dunno whether that helps at all.  As the problem is reproducible, I can try
again if you give me more instructions to try.
