Because it is the only async process that run in helm-for-files, and
every time the crash come from this; On GNU/Linux helm-for-files use
locate and nobody reported crash on this platform.
It is why I asked Fabrice to remove this source from helm-for-files to
see what happen.  I am nearly sure the crashes will stop.
Using helm-locate alone (outside of helm-for-files) should also crash
emacs (on Windows I mean).
So maybe es.exe, with specific settings in Everything could cause a
crash?
But as I said it is just supposition so take this with care.
