Is this still in GDB, and you can answer some questions about it?  Or,
if not, then reproduce the crash and answer the questions then?

> (gdb) info locals
> event = 0x555555957a40 <kbd_buffer+384>
> copy = {kind = SELECTION_REQUEST_EVENT, dpyinfo = 0x55cf0b00,

> moved_events = <optimized out>
> 
> (gdb) x/s 0x55cf0b00
> 0x55cf0b00:     <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x55cf0b00>

What does this produce:

 (gdb) p *event
