Thanks; seems to work perfectly.

Do you think this is safe enough to go on the release branch?

This isn't a regression (Emacs has segfaulted on the #0=[#1=(#0# . #1#)]
as far back as I have Emacs versions), so I'd tend toward thinking it's
not vital enough to install on the release branch, but perhaps Eli has a
different opinion.  Eli?

No, I think this fix is sufficient.
