[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

In the past one-two weeks, I have been noticing arbitrary crashes when
working in Org mode, with other packages like org-tree-slide and
artist-mode. My guess is that this has to do with packages dealing with
overlays.

I do not have a reproducible recipe, but this time, I got the full
backtrace (attached as gdb.txt).

The log shows the the beacon package caused this. For reference, here is
the source of beacon.el:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/packages/beacon/beacon.el
