Subject: 24.3; Windows Emacs crash from pty EOF
Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2013 21:48:17 -0500

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

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

Closing, as I don't see any reason to leave this open. OP reported a
crash scenario which was fixed; ptys can't be implemented on Windows
because Windows doesn't provide support for such a thing.
