> - split the window with C-x 3
> ====> emacs hangs or crashes at this point

The backtrace you show says Emacs stopped due to SIGSTOP signal, so I
guess this was the case it "hanged" and you stopped it?  In that case,
the backtrace points to an arbitrary point, and is not useful; we need
to know where does it infloop.  The technique to discover that is
described in etc/DEBUG, search for "If the symptom of the bug is that
Emacs fails to respond" there.

Thanks.
