With the current snapshot (20120816 17:19:27), I have problems with 
emacs-X11.exe.  When I start it under X (by typing 'emacs&' in an xterm 
window), its CPU usage goes up to 50% and its window never displays. 
The attached file gives the result of attaching gdb and giving the 
command 'thread apply all bt full'.

I reproduced this running emacs under mintty, but it took longer for it 
to happen.

The problem doesn't occur with the 20120815 snapshot.
