I recently installed 1.7.29 on a new Win7/64 laptop. Every day or so,
I
get a "fatal error" dialog from emacs-w32. It asks me if I want to

it, but I'm not sure what info I could pull from gdb that would be
useful.
A gdb backtrace might or might not be helpful. I would start with
other
things first (see below).
Is this a known problem?
No.
Is there any useful information I could provide?
Since this is a new computer, my first suggestion would be to check the
BLODA list (http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda). If that
doesn't help, please make a more detailed report, following the
guidelines here:

(Sigh. It died again while I was writing this note.)
Ok. I have McAfee on this box. Note that we've had McAfee installed on
all laptops here for quite a while, including my older Win32 box, which I
didn't see this problem on.
Are you sure there's nothing else? Windows Defender maybe?
I looked through the BLODA list, and I believe that McAfee is the only one that
I have installed.
Windows Defender comes with Windows 7; have you disabled it?
