This bug is reproducible with two lines in the init.el file: (global-display-line-numbers-mode 1) (setopt display-line-numbers-type 'relative) I discovered this when calling `push-button' in the help-mode buffer trying to view a function definition in its source. I suspect the overflow happens when loading a large file into the buffer, since I could open certain files without crashing Emacs. Here are the details of the backtrace: *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated Fatal error 6: Aborted Backtrace: /run/current-system/sw/bin/emacs() [0x588c88] /run/current-system/sw/bin/emacs()
