Did you make sure this is a bogus assertion violation?  In this case:

> #0  terminate_due_to_signal (sig=6, backtrace_limit=2147483647) at emacs.c:351
> No locals.

> No locals.

>         tail = 4306571314
>         fallback = 4306571314

On line 1777 of intervals.c, do the following commands

 (gdb) frame 2
 (gdb) p tail
 (gdb) xtype

say that 'tail' is a Lisp_Cons?  If so, then the assertion violation
is indeed bogus.
