Emacs served well as the "small" program, and yes, HeapAlloc returned 
addresses that were 4-byte-aligned but not 8-byte-aligned.  Fixing the 
alignment did make Emacs run smoothly, so alignment was indeed the problem.

I have now also tested the --with-wide-int build and it seems to work 
correctly as well.
