I'd lay long odds that what's being described is a psql crash not a
server crash, and furthermore that the problem is in libreadline
(which is what would be handling up-arrow response). We've heard
reports before of flaky readline behavior on Windows. I failed to
find an exact match to this report in a moment's worth of trawling
the archives, though I did find for instance

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/6a2534f3-4359-617d-d314-17174454eb6d%40orange.fr

I think the questions to ask are around where did this copy of
psql.exe come from, and what version of readline is included in
it, and whether that's up-to-date.
