What version of emacs are you running?  I haven't seen it on Windows 7 (NTEmacs
24), but have on Debian stable (emacs 23).

In my case, I tracked the problem down to comint.el (in the emacs lisp
directory). A function in there creates a temporary buffer (" *temp*"), but
doesn't check to make sure the name is unique. Newer versions of comint.el don't
do this.

Let me know if you want further help troubleshooting this.

Kind Regards,
Mike Gauland
