Thanks, but please try to provide a Lisp-level backtrace as well (it
will happen automatically if you arrange for .gdbinit to be read, as
suggested by GDB:

> warning: File 
> "C:\Programmes\installation\emacs-install\emacs\trunk\src\.gdbinit" 
> auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path' set to 
> "$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load".
> To enable execution of this file add
>       add-auto-load-safe-path 
> C:\Programmes\installation\emacs-install\emacs\trunk\src\.gdbinit
> line to your configuration file "$HOME/.gdbinit".
> To completely disable this security protection add
>       set auto-load safe-path /
> line to your configuration file "$HOME/.gdbinit".

or read it manually with the "source" command).
