[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1138.47)

emacs -Q -nw
n C-x 8 <RET> 0303 <RET> C-b C-u C-x =

This crashes emacs. I am returned to bash. "Fatal error (10)" is written to
the screen. After about 3 seconds, "Abort trap: 6" is appended to the same
line, and I am returned to the prompt.

This does not happen in the windowed version (Emacs.app)

every locale variable is en_GB.UTF-8

TERM is dumb.

This (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9172) might be of use.
It describes a similar bug on emacs 23.3 running on an xterm, but the
program does not crash.

Cheers,
Dan
