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.

Thanks, this was fixed in revision 110912 on the emacs-24 branch.
