Unfortunately, I cannot send you exactly what I was doing, as my emacs session is completely wedged.
Here is the emacs information from the bug report:
This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

I am running WIndows 2000 Pro (version 5.00.2195, service pack 4) on a Dell Dimension XPST700 with 256 MB RAM. Video is NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64, using driver version 4.5.2.3. Mouse is a MicroSoft PS/2 Port Mouse (Intellipoint) on extended IO Bus, driver version 3.10.0.393.
Here is what happens:
The session hangs only when a session (started by "runemacs") has been split, i.e., by find-file-other-window. (C-x 4-f filename) or a second frame has been created, i.e., by find-file-other-frame (C-x 5-f filename).
It only happens when I use the wheel to scroll.
The windows may be moved, minimized, and resized; they cannot be closed (closing requires emacs to do something, so I've concluded it is not O/S related)
If you are desperate for bed time reading, here is my .emacs file. Note that was almost entirely generated by 'customize'
