The shameful bug that caused these crashes is fixed in revno 100365.

Steps to reproduce:
I expect you'll need the 4.9MB file I was using. I uploaded it here
for debugging purposes:
http://streetgreek.com/files/bhs.txt
I tried the following with non-bidi-Hebrew containing file and
couldn't reproduce the bug.
using an emacs bzr pull from today:
-------------
$ emacs -Q /path/to/file/bhs.txt
-------------
at this point I already get this error in the Gnome Terminal window
from which I called Emacs (this comes even if I only run 'emacs -Q')ema:
** (emacs:22720): CRITICAL **: murrine_style_draw_box: assertion
`height >= -1' failed
[now I move around file using PgUp/PgDn, M-S->/< and point moving
commands Sample dribble log attached to this message]
Emacs crashes with either:
Fatal error (11)Segmentation fault
or:
Fatal error (6)Aborted
The actual moment of the crash comes with various commands. Once it was
C-x 3, once it was M-<, once it was a PgUp. It was always after dozens
of movement commands. Never right away. (Hence the length of the
attached dribble log)
The file is a 4.9MB text file in UTF-8 with both Hebrew and English
text. Note that the final lines of the file set the buffer local variable
'bidi-display-reordering' to 't', since I was testing bidi display.
This is the output of 'locale' on my system:
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=
The system is Ubuntu 10.4 running Gnome.
I'll give more info if required.
