Re: emacs 21.1.1 dies under win98se using whell of mouse

[Miguel]

I suppose I have to reply to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org ... (first time i post a 
bug report)

I've been doing a little research, (10 min) and I found that it's not only 
with control or shift, it's with any key!
It' does not happen the first time you turn the whell, i mean not after the 
first step of the wheel, and also it doesn't seem to happen if I turn the 
wheel slowly ( i have to confirm that ).. so the easy way of reproducing it 
seems to press any key and at the same time turn fast up and down the whell 
....
I've checked that the bug persists even with the -q switch on the runemacs 
commandline...
I've tried changing de config of the mouse ( PS/2 rate, "use only office 
compatible mode"..) but it still crashes...

the info as reported in m-x emacs report :
