Crashes on w32 and debugging

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

I currently get a lot of crashes with my slightly patched Emacs on 
Windows XP Pro:

  GNU Emacs 23.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-01-30 (patched)

I guess they are related to starting either Firefox or Freemind (java) 
from within Emacs, but I am not sure.

Debugging would perhaps help, but when Emacs crashes I just get a 
message that asks me if I want to send a bug report to Microsoft.

I am configuring with

  configure --with-gcc --cflags

and compiling with gcc.

I looked in the documentation for how to start Emacs under gdb, but I 
can't find anything about it in nt/INSTALL.
