To verify whether this is a build-related problem, maybe you can try
my build too:

Your build of GVIM.EXE exhibits the same problem on my system. It
reboots the system.
When I say "reboot", it's virtually like someone power-cycled my
system. I'm surprised that Windows doesn't blue screen (I guess I
shouldn't be).
Also, I guess I should have been clear before that I am using GVIM.
To try to reproduce this problem, execute DOS command "ATTRIB +R
filename", edit the file in GVIM, and attempt to overwrite the file by
issuing ":w!"
