Could you perhaps try this and see if Emacs hangs sometimes (as it
does for me with my one year old build, with my patches and my build
tools):

Start Emacs, but immediately switch to another maximized application.
Then a rather long time afterward (maybe ten minutes, I do not know)
switch back to Emacs.

Quite often then Win7/64 bit complains that Emacs has stopped responding.
