The problem that has been discussed at length in the thread "64-bit
emacs crashes a lot" appears to have been solved on the emacs-devel

WJFFM so far (fingers crossed!)
The problem went away for me when I built emacs with
'LDFLAGS=-Wl,--stack,4194304'. I'm wondering if it's just that emacs
needs an unusually big stack or if the default stack size on 64-bit
Cygwin should be increased for all applications.
I could easily imagine running into trouble by doubling pointer sizes,
if GC calls routinely reach 10k+ stack frames deep like somebody
mentioned a couple days ago...
