Thanks.

AFAIU, the crash was here:

  /* Put an anchor.  */
  *(Z_ADDR) = 0;  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

So the first question is, of course, what is the value of Z_ADDR?

Next question is what are the values of the variables in the
expression to which Z_ADDR expands:

  /* Address of end of buffer.  */
  #define Z_ADDR (current_buffer->text->beg + current_buffer->text->gap_size + current_buffer->text->z_byte - BEG_BYTE)
