Ah, of course; when allocating 'b' in Fget_buffer_create, Emacs got the 
pointer 0x...fc, which is NOT aligned at an 8-byte boundary as required 
by USE_LSB_TAG.  This messes up the tags and causes the crash.

So, apparently, on Windows 98 HeapAlloc does not guarantee 8-byte 
alignment of memory.  Not that this would be documented anywhere...

How should we fix this?  I can write and test the fix, but I'd like to 
hear your opinion on the preferred mechanism.
