I'm seeing this as well. My impression is that it seems to occur when
you have emacs and other programs uniconized and both are updating the
screen . I didn't see this with any of the pretests and my hunch is
that it has something to do with the display optimisations Andrew put
in shortly before the release

By windows crash - do you mean the session totally freezing rather
than a BSOD? 

I'm now more careful about the applications I have uniconized at the
same time as emacs and it hasn't frozen...yet!

----
I'm still getting a replicable crash involving fonts, vm and popup
menus that I had with the pretests

Anyone else want to try starting with just this file (adjust vm path)
then M-x vm, go back to the original frame and try selecting a
bookmark (off the edit menu)?

;;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/vm-6.95")

(setq rajm:def-font 
      "-outline-Miriam Fixed-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-80-iso8859-8")
(setq default-frame-alist 
      (cons (cons 'font 
                  rajm:def-font)
            (cons (cons 'cursor-color "red")
                  (cons (cons 'background-color "paleturquoise")
                        default-frame-alist))))

(setq vm-init-file nil)
;; em-crash is a small file so that it starts up quickly!
(setq vm-primary-inbox "~/Mail/em-crash")
(require 'recentf)
(recentf-mode 1)
(require 'vm)
