Subject: 24.3; Windows Emacs crash from pty EOF

The following expression causes Emacs to crash in Windows 7 (and
probably other versions) with Emacs 24.3.1:

     (with-temp-buffer
       (start-process "crash-emacs-bug" (current-buffer) nil)
       (process-send-eof))

The `start-process' call here is creating a pty process (according to
the docstring). The exact version string is (official GNU build):

    GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN
