I can reliably get a crash without changing coding systems: (progn (buffer-swap-text (generate-new-buffer "test")) (insert (make-string 128 ?a)))(progn(buffer-swap-text (generate-new-buffer "test")) (garbage-collect))I cannot seem to reproduce it here, tho I'm not 100% sure how you run the above code. Could you give a more detailed recipe, starting from "emacs -Q" and showing whether you use M-: or C-x C-e, ... ?
One possible variable here is the way that buffer space is allocated. On Windows, it seems REL_ALLOC is defined. I presume GNU/Linux defines USE_MMAP_FOR_BUFFERS which would cause it to take a different code path around the point where we see a crash on Windows, and as Magnus Henoch saw on NetBSD/powerpc also (though we don't have a stack trace for that crash, so can't tell for sure it is crashing in the same place).
Magnus, does src/config.h have either of these constants defined on your NetBSD/powerpc machine? A third possibility if neither of those are defined is that xmalloc/xfree/xrealloc are used.
