Do you want the stackdump file? I tried to use dumper.exe as per the FAQ but on re-starting bash I got a "syntax error" message. That's something for another time...
I don't really want the stackdump file, but a core generated by
dumper would be fine.

You may be onto something. As an experiment I started Mutt, and then in another bash shell window started emacs, and got the same result (Sinal 11). Some argument between the two about something, it looks like, though the reverse (start emacs and then mutt) works fine.
Probably the Win98 loader is loading emacs differently, causing
the problem.  One thing you can do is run emacs before mutt,
then run "start-server" once it's up, then use "emacsclient"
for the editor in mutt.  The emacsclient binary talks to
the running emacs and uses it to edit files.
