Subject: 31.0.50; Emacs sometimes crashes
Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2025 10:55:35 +0100
Dear all,

while trying to reproduce #76186 with "-nw", I sometimes encounter a
crash. In https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=76186#83, Eli
says this is worth a separate report, and so I am filing it here.

To try to reproduce the problem, please download the following file:

    https://www.metalevel.at/ei/recenter_sometimes_not_recentering_nw.el

and then launch Emacs with:

    $ emacs -Q -nw --load recenter_sometimes_not_recentering_nw.el

Leave it running for a while, and then press:

    C-g C-x C-c

Sometimes, but not always, this yields:

    /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x28150)[0x7ad890e28150]
    /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x89)[0x7ad890e28209]
    emacs(+0x5bab5)[0x57deda682ab5]
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

A backtrace produced by gdb after the crash is encountered follows.

I hope this helps also as a small step towards resolving #76186.

Thank you and all the best,
Markus
