Thanks.  I tried on GNU/Linux.

I leave it to run to frame numbers in hundreds or thousands before I
interrupt the command.  It never crashes, definitely not 1 in 10.

I wonder what is it with your environment that produces unreproducible
results, even for such simple problems.  Note that the backtrace
you've shown indicated the crash was while loading some Lisp file,
which I don't understand at all.
