Ah, yes, sorry. I think this is enough here for the version:

GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) from trunk 2010-10-19

I think the problem is missing error handling in the C code. I
frequently ran out of some OS resources (because of a long standing
bug in windows xp) and those things does not seem to be checked in the
C sources always.
