Subject: 25.0.50; Crash on startup on OS X with -Q
Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 23:55:32 -0500

Emacs invoked with "-Q" (git development version) crashes on startup.
This happens sometimes, not always. I already posted a bug related to
this, but that was for version 24.4.

To reproduce: run emacs with "-Q" repeatedly until it crashes. This
might take some tries, but on my computer it eventually crashes with
the stack trace below.

(lldb) run -Q

Hi,

I think I have found and fixed this problem. It was caused by input events
arriving to Emacs before the init code had been fully executed. It was
fixed by using block_ and unblock_input() in ns_term_init.

Hi,

I fixed this a few weeks ago. It was caused by inputs events arriving
before the init code had finished. When the system was heavily loaded, when
memory was low, when the a disk needed to spin up etc. this became more
prominent.

This was fixed by block input in the init function, see
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-25&id=0392e241b844487261d4dfcccc9a442793e0a868
for details.

Sincerely,
    Anders Lindgren
