 Windows XP: crash when scrolling down after 'M-x describe-fontset' or

Windows XP has been completely EOL'd since April 8, 2014 (a little over
2 years at the time of writing). I'm not entirely sure of the official
policy on supporting OSes that are no longer supported by their vendor,
but I'm having a hard time imagining anyone using Emacs on Windows XP as
a development environment. I'm also thinking not very many people even
still have XP somewhere to test if this bug still exists - I certainly
don't.

The only thing that we can reasonably do IMO is check newer Windows and
see if problems persist.
