emacs-24.0.96-2 crashes when I am doing the following:

I can reproduce this. I'll try again to fix it.
I've discovered something strange by running emacs under gdb. If I
start emacs-24 in a terminal (but not under X) and start a shell as
you did, then every press of C-g creates a new thread, and these are
never destroyed. I'm pretty sure the threads are created by Cygwin,
not by emacs.
What does C-g mean in Emacs? What's it supposed to do? Does it
call select or poll?
It's supposed to quit whatever operation is in progress. It doesn't
call select or poll. In the situation of Filipp's instructions
above, C-x C-f has caused emacs to prompt for a file name, and C-g
should interrupt that. It also rings the the terminal bell and
prints "Quit" in the echo area at the bottom of the screen.
The situation in my instructions is slightly different. Prior to
the user pressing C-g, emacs is running its idle loop, in which it
repeatedly calls select to see if there's any event it needs to
respond to. When C-g is pressed, select returns and emacs reacts
to the keypress. In this case there's nothing to do but ring the
terminal bell and print "Quit".
Somehow I'm not able to test this. When I start `emacs -Q -nw' in cmd
or mintty, emacs takes 100% CPU for some reason. It doesn't matter if I
try it under Cygwin 1.7.15 or current CVS.
That's strange. All my tests were done in mintty. Would it help if I
sent some strace output and/or a gdb backtrace? I assumed you could get
those (or at least the strace output) yourself, and I didn't want to
spam the list.

P.S. BTW, I tested today's snapshot, and the problem is still there.
