I believe this has already been resolved by Gregory's patch, however here's what I see when running with valgrind: - ==203263== Invalid free() / delete / delete[] / realloc() ==203263== at 0x484426F: free (vg_replace_malloc.c:872) ==203263== by 0x32563B: safe_free (lisp.h:5385) ==203263== by 0x32563B: apply_lambda (eval.c:3109) ==203263== by 0x323921: eval_sub (eval.c:2588) ==203263== by 0x326510: internal_lisp_condition_case (eval.c:1428) ==203263== by 0x323FB9: eval_sub (eval.c:2449) ==203263== by 0x3242AC: Fprogn (eval.c:436) ==203263== by 0x323FB9: eval_sub (eval.c:2449) ==203263== by 0x326510: internal_lisp_condition_case (eval.c:1428) ==203263== by 0x323FB9: eval_sub (eval.c:2449) ==203263== by 0x3242AC: Fprogn (eval.c:436) ==203263== by 0x323FB9: eval_sub (eval.c:2449) ==203263== by 0x3242AC: Fprogn (eval.c:436) ==203263== Address 0x20987025 is 5 bytes inside a block of size 4,096 alloc'd ==203263== at 0x4841888: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:381) ==203263== by 0x2F97B1: lmalloc (alloc.c:1365) ==203263== by 0x2F97B1: xmalloc (alloc.c:755) ==203263== by 0x2F97B1: allocate_vector_block (alloc.c:3003) ==203263== by 0x2F97B1: allocate_vector_from_block (alloc.c:3066) ==203263== by 0x2F97B1: allocate_vectorlike (alloc.c:3340) ==203263== by 0x2F9B0F: allocate_pseudovector (alloc.c:3417) ==203263== by 0x2F9B0F: allocate_buffer (alloc.c:3428) ==203263== by 0x2B7D62: Fget_buffer_create.part.0 (buffer.c:566) ==203263== by 0x1803AE: ensure_echo_area_buffers (xdisp.c:12155) ==203263== by 0x186B14: with_echo_area_buffer (xdisp.c:12194) ==203263== by 0x1B3230: set_message (xdisp.c:12840) ==203263== by 0x1B3230: message3_nolog (xdisp.c:11952) ==203263== by 0x1B34A7: message3 (xdisp.c:11893) ==203263== by 0x318259: Fmessage (editfns.c:3151) ==203263== by 0x318259: Fmessage (editfns.c:3119) ==203263== by 0xE0BF4A3: F6c6f61642d776974682d636f64652d636f6e76657273696f6e_load_with_code_conversion_0 (in /storage/Work/personal/emacs/native-lisp/29.0.60-349da14f/preloaded/mule-3352613d-1fec1ce7.eln) ==203263== by 0x320265: Ffuncall (eval.c:2995) ==203263== by 0x354F06: call4 (lisp.h:3269) ==203263== by 0x354F06: Fload (lread.c:1484) Kind regards, -- Simon Pugnet https://www.polaris64.net/
