[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Thanks, Maritn! I have now compiled emacs with your patch, and with
--enable-checking, and will let you know if I get a hit.

I got another crash (before compiling with Martin's patch and without
--enable-checking, but with Pip's patch and -fno-tree-sra). I got the crash
after rapidly pressing 2 keystrokes. I am not sure exactly which
keystrokes, but I think it was ' followed by Del. It could be completely
unrelated to this bug, but the trace seems pretty weird, as the m pointer
represents ASCII text for "ganap/u/", which is the reversed start of my
home directory "/u/panagopo". Could it be that we have some sort of memory
corruption that is throwing us in different directions?

In any case, I will try to find a reproducer for this. Here is the trace:
