"bug#70914: 29.3; Crashes often on Windows" -- timing related crashes due to org-superstar and org-fancy-priorities on windows?

I notice the documentation notes about a timing bug:

The package in question has matured, but suffers from intricate timing errors which will require looking into. Especially since they are so far impossible to test reliably due to their nature.

I get crashes on Windows, and while I'm far from sure what the source is, it might look like it's related to org-superstar, and it happens pretty much every time when using both org-superstar and org-fancy-priorities and launching from gdb.

Maybe you can look at the following emacs bug report, "bug#70914: 29.3; Crashes often on Windows", and add your thoughts if you thing it might be related?

Looks unrelated. My problem was that org-mode would try to fontify text in org-babel blocks, triggering a bug in parse_root.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
"file://"
#+end_src

This would cause a lookup of the file "//", triggering the bug on Windows.
