A difference between "vim" and "vim -u ~/.vimrc" is that the system
vimrc file isn't used and macmap.vim is skipped.

This is going into the direction of a problem where the solution is to
"reinstall Windows"...
You could try putting this in your .vimrc:
set verbose=1
exe 'set verbosefile=/tmp/vimdump.' . localtime()
Perhaps you can see where the crashed gvim stops. You can increase the
'verbose' option to see more.
