Add W32-specific issues.

64856:c33c10cefdfb

** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.

** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
invalid pointer from string_free_list.

* BUGS

** Fix those modes that still use compile-internal, to not use it.

Finally, a test has been added to see if "shell-dirstack-query" is
non-nil.  If so, it is not overwritten.

To enable the fix, the user must set comint-process-echoes to t.


** Bug in ebrowse

** Emacs on Windows crashes reading JPEG images from files.

The problem is caused by the Emacs executable and the image library
having multiple, incompatible copies of the run-time code, which can
happen when mixing a MSVC build of Emacs with a MinGW build of the
jpeg library (or the other way around).  The fix is straightforward
and has already been posted on the developers' list, but it is on the
back burner waiting for a legal comment or an alternate implementation
(around 30 lines of code).

** Server processes do not work on Windows.

TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
excesive CPU on some Windows environments.  Usages of 50% and 100%
CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.

When calling `delete-process' on an UDP server process, Emacs hangs.
