That one disappeared after bootstrapping.

I build from a pristine working copy every time.

Put a breakpoint in Fdirectory_files_and_attributes and in
Ffile_system_info and, then invoke find-file, and step through them
line by line to see on which line where does SIGSEGV hit.

It looks to me as though "filename_to_utf16" is not returning utf16 data (which is what it sounds like it should do):

C:\emacs>gdb --quiet --args c:\emacs\emacs-116232\bin\emacs.exe -Q \temp\
Reading symbols from c:\emacs\emacs-116232\bin\emacs.exe...done.

That should
at least give us a clue where to look.  I guess the bug, whatever it
is, badly smashes the stack, or maybe it's some GCC misfeature in
optimized code that trips the debugger.  (Which GDB version is that,
btw?)

Anyway, I tried to reproduce this, but couldn't.  What version of GCC
do you have?  Also, does the problem happen if you configure Emacs
without all the optional libraries, like image libraries, libxml,
gnutls, etc.?

Still want me to try that?
