This is a duplicate of 15841.

If you can recall what were you doing when this happened, please tell.

Reverting a buffer which was updated by another program.

FWIW: Today (with an Emacs build yesterday from trunk) I've got two
more crashes while reverting buffers.

Here is the backtrace:

Thanks.  However, without a recipe to reproduce or at least some
supporting data, there's not much one can learn from this, except that
the problem is not yet solved.  If I modify a file outside Emacs and
then try to insert a character, and when Emacs asks the question, tell
it to revert its buffer, I see no crashes.

What I see from this backtrace is that you typed a characters
(self-insert-command), to which Emacs told you that the file was
modified and asked what to do.  You then replied with 'r', asking
Emacs to revert the buffer.  As result of the revert, some
after-change-hook got run, which caused another (perhaps the same)
after-change-hook to run:

Any idea what could those hooks be?

In general, if you want to help the investigation, run Emacs under
GDB, and when this happens look around to find answers to these
questions.

TIA.

Please try the current trunk, the changes I made in revision 115259
might also fix this one.

For a couple of days, I've used a binary with that changes, and I've
not seen more crashes since then (but the crashes were not
deterministic anyway).

So perhaps we could close this bug now, and I'll reopen it if I see
the crash again.

Thanks.
