Ouch!  My bad, probably.

First, what caused the crash?  I think it's BUFFERP, so please tell
what is glyph->object.

Also, can you tell something about what were you doing at the moment
of the crash?  It looks like you were typing in the minibuffer, is
that correct?

Finally, what does the GDB command "pgrow" print?

Oh, btw: is this an optimized or an unoptimized build?

Hmm?.. looks like a garbled glyph structure...
