Subject: 26.0.50; emacs crashes on using tramp

At first, i have to say that i'm sorry that I dont use the proper report-emacs-bug system, but I didn't succeed doing that.
It's really not easy to use this emacs bug-reporting system, and if you want everybody to be able to report bugs, the system should be simpler!
Anyways, here is the Bug report, if I follow this, emacs crashes every time.
I use arch linux x86-64
If i start 'emacs -Q'
after 'C-x C-f' (find-file) and entering '/ssh:'
in the moment I type the colon, emacs crashes with the backtrace:
Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault

For the records, this doesn't happen for me with a todays build of git
master:

GNU Emacs 26.0.50.17 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.30)
 of 2016-12-11

I'm running Ubuntu 16.10.

Looks like a problem in the concurrency code. Could you, pls, check the
instructions in etc/DEBUG how to retrieve better traces?

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.

I tried this on Trisquel and on MS-Windows, and couldn't reproduce
this, either.

Yes, please.

I will follow the debug instructions, when i have more time for that, but i can say that it's definitely not the concurrency thing.
I could crashed emacs that way, long before the concurrency branch was merged into master.

No further information for a year. I'm closing this bug. Feel free to
reopen if you have more evidences.

Best regards, Michael.
