[h-e-w] Emacs 21.1 crashing on Win2k

[Konstantin Ignatiev]

Just want to share my experience - I tried to build 21.1 under
Win2k, VC 6.0; Emacs builds OK, starts fine, but crashes on any
attempt to scroll (e.g., using scroll bars, moving the cursor, or
resizing the window). This is the stack:

If you do not scroll, it will not crash, but it is apparent there
is something wrong with the display: model line blinks on and
off, there are two black vertical stripes on both sides on the
window, etc.

Apparently, either I am doing something terribly wrong, or my
configuration is not standard in some way, or 21.1 is seriously
broken on Windows.

I didn't investigate any further, since I am very happy with
20.7; just wanted to experiment with the new version.
