[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

I have made a little more investigation, trying to boil down the dozen
of lines in my init file to what ultimately causes the crash.

It occurs that this is caused by a tiny missing slash in some info path.

I made an MSDos batch file that start emacs with -Q and a few other
command line arguments ( --eval and -f ) to do the minial inits and
actions to cause the crash. So on my machine when I open a DOS console,
and I type

call bug18516_1.bat

The it lauchnes and immediately after crashes.

Hopefully that additional investigation can help you locate what is
happening.

Please make me know if you have any instruction how to get gdb working,
FYI I have this one on my machine:
