I got it this time. It crashed on me just a few seconds after I started it,
while reading mail with rmail. This time I had the right debug info
installed for this version of emacs and here is the backtrace:

================================================

Thanks. These crashes are very mysterious to me. Two of them have recently been reported to the emacs bug tracker, including one by me a couple hours ago:

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17526

Unfortunately, nothing in the backtrace (yours or mine) is giving me any clue. Maybe someone more knowledgeable, especially about the Cygwin-w32 build, will have some ideas. (Daniel?)

For future reference, here are some suggestions:

1. Once you've started gdb, give the command "source /usr/share/emacs/24.3.90/etc/.gdbinit". This defines some gdb commands that are useful for debugging emacs. Among other things, this will cause the "backtrace" command to include a lisp backtrace.

2. After getting a backtrace and reporting it somewhere (see item 3 below), keep the gdb session open, if possible, in case someone wants you to try to get more info.

3. If you are willing to help debug these crashes, send your backtraces as emacs bug reports instead of sending them to this list. You can do that easily via the command `M-x report-emacs-bug' within emacs, or you can just send email to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.
