I've just fixed on the emacs-25 branch a serious bug in the w32
implementation of mmap_realloc.  The conditions under which the bug
happened are very rare, but when it did happen, we would in effect
lose a portion of buffer text, and instead get binary nulls.  Sounds
familiar?

So please try reproducing your problem after updating the repository
from upstream, I hope that the problems will be gone.  (If you are
tracking master, wait until ab849b7 is merged to it, or apply it
manually.)
