I tracked down my issue to this line in my configuration:

https://github.com/gfredericks/dotfiles/blob/48c503319046517fc1767735d09fbb232ace12ba/base/.emacs.d/user/gfredericks-longrunning.el.symlink#L34

I can see how it's related, since it's adding a
window-configuration-change-hook, but I can't tell at a glance what's wrong
with it. It's a function that tries to save the current window
configuration to a variable each time it changes.

I'm going to use the new emacs[1] for a while with this line commented out
to see if there are any other issues.
