the core file is ok. the crash was triggered by combination of two
factors: bug in gdb, which following patch is supposed to fix, and
change in size of CONTEXT structure. gdb and dumper must be built with
common set of headers in order to interoperate.
can you please try this patch, rebuild gdb, ensuring that it uses
latest w32api headers, and give it a try?
