Has this problem been resolved? I have unintentionally found
a reproducible way to reboot my W98 box by pressing 'C-w'.
(I'm using Emacs 19.34, so this may be old news).

  Run Emacs and type 'a<ENTER>'
  Press '<HOME> C-w C-y C-y C-y C-y C-y' to copy the region
  five times.
  Repeat previous step seven more times.
  The file now consists of 390625 lines.
  The next 'C-w' reboots my computer. Every time.

I could post log files, but they are a bit on the hefty side.
(~28K for a 25-line window, ~46K for a 50-line window)
