please note:
the crash occurs very early when running the dumped executable.
it occurs in CHECK_SYMBOL (alias) in Fdefine_coding_system_alias(), called from
determine_if_using_unicode(), from init_intl_win32(), called early at startup.
the value of the variable appears to be garbage. in fact, all dumped variables
appear to have garbage values. stop at the first line of code, e.g., and you'll
see that noninteractive has some large, garbage value instead of something like
0 or 1.
perhaps the crash is occurring at the first point that XEmacs does an indirect
memory access through any value that should have been remembered across the
dumping probcess.
