Subject: emacs-27.0.50_2019-01-17; `-nw' option causes core dump
Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2019 11:40:02 +0900

 emacs-27.0.50_2019-01-17 built with following configuration dumps core
 (segmentaion fault), when `-nw' option is specified.

 When built it with `--with-pdumper=no --with-dumping=unexec'
 configuration options, it works fine with `-nw' option.

 I suspected the reinitialization after loading a pdmp file is
 inadequate, and found the next patch fixes the problem.

Thanks.  Can you show the backtrace from the crash?

Also, does "_2019-01-17" above mean that this is a Jan 2019 snapshot
of the development sources?  Because I think this problem was already
reported and fixed since then, with this fragment at the end of
coding.c in the current sources:

  /* In temacs the below is done by mule-conf.el, because we need to
     define us-ascii first.  But in dumped Emacs us-ascii is restored
     by the above loop, and mule-conf.el will not be loaded, so we set
     it up now; otherwise safe_terminal_coding will remain zeroed.  */
  Fset_safe_terminal_coding_system_internal (Qus_ascii);

Thanks, I'm therefore closing this bug report.
