Thanks.  There's no need to run Emacs under a debugger in this case,
AFAIU.  What is needed is a recipe that would more or less reliably
reproduce the problem.  The place where the assertion is violated and
why Emacs aborts is quite clear; what is missing is the root cause of
that impossible situation.  And that can only be provided by a recipe.

Can you describe what should one do to reproduce this problem,
starting from "emacs -Q", loading rnc-mode and anything else that is
needed, then typing or evaluating something that causes the crash?
