Huh, no error code or line number, etc?

That does look look a crash in the error-reporting mechanism (perhaps
during an attempted shutdown after an earlier crash).

Is this repeatable?

This is strange.  Windows backtraces usually have stack frame
information, I thought, such as names of called functions and
arguments.  Without that, I don't think we can do much.

Are you stripping symbols out of the binary?

Hopefully one of the Windows people will speak up; that about exhausts
my knowledge (cough) of debugging crashes on Windows.
