If this is consistent, can you provide a reproducible test case,
starting with "emacs -Q"?

Thanks, but it's hard to do anything with just this backtrace.  Can
you at least see what was the immediate reason for the crash?  E.g.,
is 'glyph' a NULL pointer?

Also, how come you get truncation glyphs on a GUI frame? did you
disable the fringes or something?

Thanks.
