Please provide the full information about your system and build that
is normally reported by "M-x report-emacs-bug RET".

FWIW, I checked this on 2 different systems, and I see at least 350
free slots in the staticvec[] array, before the current value of
NSTATICS will be reached.  So I wonder how come on your system you are
so close to the limit that a single extra symbol overflows it.
