Windows 9.16.25 fails to start (1067 Terminated unexpectedly)

[Ondřej Surý]

Log isn’t going to help here if named is crashing. Getting a backtrace or anything that closely resembles one would help. Running debug build under MSVS would help. Or doing git bisect and pinpoint the breakage to a commit or at least Merge commit would help.

This is part of the problem - debugging on Windows is extremely painful and requires expertise with extremely high learning curve.
