NTEmacs crash on startup?

[David Abrahams]

Following a suggestion to debug emacs by running under the debugger,
I see a new "problem":  an access violation during the very early
stages of startup, as the C runtime begins:


        ntdll.dll!77f75a58()    
        ntdll.dll!77f9cb5e()    
        ntdll.dll!77f9cfc4()    
        ntdll.dll!77f9e730()    
        ntdll.dll!77f8333b()

FWIW-ly y'rs,
