'Emacs -Q' failed after a few minutes of doing svn file diffs.

Can you give me a detailed step-by-step recipe so that I can try to reproduce the problem? I don't really know what you mean by "doing svn file diffs".


I ran gdb on the hung process.  I am not too familiar with this
kind of debugging.
Let me know if there is more I can give next time this happens.
Here is some output.

This is a backtrace of a thread that gdb has created. You need to switch to thread 1 (the main emacs thread) before you can get a useful backtrace:


(gdb) thread 1
(gdb) bt

Even better, you can get a backtrace of all threads with the command `thread apply all bt' or, for more detail, `thread apply all bt full'.

And please attach cygcheck output when you write again.
