Comment:

 Okay, I seem to have a test build that fixes things for me. Could other
 EMET users that got hit by crashes test that one as well and report back
 whether there are still issues? It can be found on:

 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/torbrowser-install-tbb-
 nightly_62_ALL.exe
 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/torbrowser-install-tbb-
 nightly_62_ALL.exe.asc

 It uses the latest mingw-w64 and underneath GCC 6.2.0. I got it to compile
 our stuff after some pain and my current hypothesis is that the
 optimization bug got fixed in the GCC's 6.x series. I tested that with
 EMET 5.51 on a Windows 7 machine.
