Just want to drop this here, because I'll probably only continue
tomorrow.  And because I find this a little bit baffling.

Save the following 2 lines as crash.el, which are what I could reduce my
init file to:

(custom-set-variables
 '(save-place-mode t))

Then start Emacs from the src directory like this:

lldb emacs
run -Q  -l crash.el xdisp.c dispextern.h lisp.h nsterm.m xterm.c

When the Emacs GUI window appears, quickly grab its titlebar with the
mouse and drag it up.  I usually need a few trials (< 10) to be
quick enough, or what the reason might be.

Result:

Process 94346 stopped

That's the same crash as Sam reported.

Sam, are you also using save-place?  Can you reproduce this recipe?

(In case it matters, my places file has 180 lines, and contains entries
for the files I'm loading.)
