Subject: 24.3; crash when increasing font size in HELLO buffer

Hello!

Sorry, I had no time to test the RC releases, a new XeTeX version was out for testing. This error is easy to reproduce:

	src/emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Lucida Sans Typewriter:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
	C-h H
	*while* the window is being filled with text enlarge frame "diagonally" in X and Y direction (right and down from lower right corner)
	with the mouse S-mouse-1 click and select "Increase Buffer Text Size" from pmenu
	in echo area appears: <S-drag-mouse-1> is undefined
		in shell:

		or that:

I see that optimisation is being a problem, so I'm going to try a build without… When I change -Os to -O0 all runs OK. When I change -Os to -O1 then the crash happens interactively, but I could not trigger it in GDB. With -O2 everything is OK (though I did not try in GDB). With -O3 GNU Emacs crashes only seldomly, and it cannot be reproduced. The same with -O4.

Repeated re-configurations and re-compilations with -Os do not bring back the original behaviour.

I tested:

./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Latin Modern Mono Light:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Latin Modern Mono Light Cond:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Latin Modern Mono:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'FreeMono:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9'
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'DejaVu Sans Mono:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Monospace:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Linux Libertine Mono O:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Linux Libertine Mono T:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Droid Sans Mono:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &
./emacs -Q --no-desktop -fn 'Lucida Sans Typewriter:autohint=true:antialias=true:size=9' &

Lucida Sans Typewriter comes with Java, the other fonts are in TeX Live 2012.

Isn't vi that text editor with two modes... one that beeps and one that corrupts your file?

If stil happens with current Emacs, please open a new report
showing a backtrace from an unoptimized build. Thanks.
