Is this session still available?  If so, what is the value of
coding_system (use "xsymbol" to see it)?

According to the backtrace (if it doesn't lie, this being an optimized
build), the crash was the result of x_catching_errors on line 1624 of
eval.c, which according to my reading means there were some X errors
before that.  Could some X expert take a look?  Could this be due to
the latest changes wrt X selections?
