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

I have experienced a crash of Emacs when I moved the focus away from the
Emacs window to another application (Thunderbird).

The last thing I had done before moving the focus away was to send an
email message, which seems to have gone through fine.  Then I probably
got new mail into my VM folder, from an IMAP server, and read a
message.  Nothing particularly interesting about that.  This is the
first time I have experience a crash like this one.

I am attaching a backtrace from Dr. MinGW.

Cheers,
Uday

This backtrace is useless, as it shows no source-level information.
Is your Emacs stripped or something?

Yeah, I thought the same too.  This was the official release of Emacs,
from the ftp site.  Should I do my own build?

We don't seem to include debugging info on Windows binary builds for
releases.  There's been some previous discussion, e.g.

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-11/msg00840.html

If this is going to be an issue, we could reconsider.

But in the meantime, could you do your own build, Uday?  Thanks.

I'm afraid nothing can be done without a proper backtrace, as was
requested one year ago. Please feel free to reopen this if you get one.
