It seems to be preposterously small:

```
Breakpoint 2, Fload_average (use_floats=XIL(0)) at ../../src/fns.c:2856
2856                              ? make_fixnum (100.0 * load_ave[loads])
(gdb) print load_ave
$1 = {2.8900000000000001, 2.8752811112650786e-312, 2.7799999999999998}
```

This android version does not have getloadavg (so I guess
lib/getloadavg.c is used instead?)

After loading gdbinit from emacs src, starting emacs and scrolling up
and down a file a couple of times it crashes with:

```
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb6995228 in sigsetjmp () from /system/lib/libc.so
```

A backtrace then unfortunately only shows:

```
#0  0xb6995228 in sigsetjmp () from /system/lib/libc.so
#1  0x62e31f80 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
backtrace_top () at ../../src/eval.c:176
176     {
The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.
GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.
To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on".
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
(backtrace_top) will be abandoned.
When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.
```

I am fairly in-experienced with gdb, so please let me know if there is
anything else I can try.

It also seems that the segfault does not happen if running inside
tmux.
