Interesting.  Thanks!

The reason for that fix were random crashes I experienced with 
Emacs/master.  I then found this using ASAN.

I wonder why I didn't catch that with ASAN on the emacs-28 branch.  
Maybe because I also had ENABLE_CHECKING set, which made Emacs slow with 
five o, together with ASAN and -g0.  Could be a timing thing,  I'm too 
lazy to check.

Anyway, I guess that is a good candidate for back porting to master, if 
Eli and Lars agree.
