> bytepos=33) at intervals.c:1944

This frame calls `abort' here:

  /* In a single-byte buffer, the two positions must be equal.  */
  if (BUF_ZV (buffer) == BUF_ZV_BYTE (buffer)
      && charpos != bytepos)
    abort ();

It does that on the assumption that if the character and byte
positions of the last character in the buffer's accessible area
coincide, all the character and byte positions before that must also
coincide.

So please show what the following GDB commands print in frame #1:

  (gdb) p buffer->size
  (gdb) p *buffer->text->beg <at> 34
  (gdb) p buffer->text->zv
  (gdb) p buffer->text->zv_byte
  (gdb) p buffer->text->z
  (gdb) p buffer->text->z_byte
  (gdb) p buffer->text->pt
  (gdb) p buffer->text->pt_byte
  (gdb) p buffer->name
  (gdb) xstring

TIA
