Hi all,

I have found a bug in Emacs on Windows (NTEmacs).

The easiest way to reproduce the crash is:
- start emacs -Q
- type M-:
- type (setq w32-downcase-file-names t)
- type RET
- type C-x C-f
- type C-q 2 4 0 RET
This shows the "Emacs Abort Dialog" ("A fatal error has occurred!").

I don't have gdb to further debug this.
I saw it in GNU Emacs 24.0.96.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-04-29
on MARVIN, on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (x64, version 6.1.7601). It has
been confirmed in recent build 24.3.50 as well.

As suggested by Eli Zaretskii and others, I'm reporting it here.

Groente, Michel.
