Thank you for the report. It does not seem to be a bug in any
particular lisp function, as if I run snake using the lisp debugger,
Emacs does not crash. The stack trace suggests a timing problem in
redisplay.

This problem doesn't appear under current CVS, so I think this is
probably related to another bug that has been fixed already.
