This is somewhat tangential to the real problem at hand, but as long
as we are talking about this: what happens if you remove all that
block from .gdbinit, type "gdb ./emacs.exe" in the src directory, and
then manually type the commands in the offending block, one after the
other?  I'm particularly interested to know whether you see any error
messages from GDB, and if so, which line causes these messages.

Kim, any clever ideas, before we ask Angelo to look in last_marked[]
array etc.?

Yes, I've seen that thread, but I don't see any useful (i.e., that
explain what's going on and why) responses to the problem it reported.
