What about "emacs -q" -- does that reproduce the problem?

Yes, it crashes with `emacs -q'.
 

What does the Windows Event Viewer say about these crashes (under
"Application")?

On my Windows 8 system:
16/10/2012  07:45           119,296 libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

The dll does not contain any version information, but gcc --version
prints 4.7.2.

On my Windows XP system where it works:
05/10/2013  12:17 PM           112,142 libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

gcc 4.8.1 is installed.

On my Windows 8 system, I renamed the DLL. Unexpectedly emacs
launched, and it exited normally. According to Process Monitor, emacs
failed to find this DLL anywhere else. I doubt that I have another copy
but I am searching the C: drive now.
