** Emacs crashes when exiting the Emacs session
This was reported to happen when some optional DLLs, such as those
-used for displaying images or the GnuTLS library, which are loaded
-on-demand, have a runtime dependency on the libgcc DLL,
-libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll. The reason seems to be a bug in libgcc which
-rears its ugly head whenever the libgcc DLL is loaded after Emacs has
-started.
+used for displaying images or the GnuTLS library or zlib compression

One solution for this problem is to find an alternative build of the
same optional library that does not depend on the libgcc DLL.
