Just wanted to say that I see the same issue in a VirtualBox VM running
Ubuntu 12.04 in a Windows 7 host after I upgraded to the latest Emacs
pretest (from a version somewhere around shortly before the first
one). It's difficult to reproduce, so I'm afraid bisecting the offending
commit is not feasible. It happens maybe once an hour, but then several
times in a row.
