OK, I see one place where this could happen.  In xterm.c:10207:

    terminal->kboard = (KBOARD *) xmalloc (sizeof (KBOARD));
    ...
    if (!EQ (XSYMBOL (Qvendor_specific_keysyms)->function, Qunbound))
      {
        char *vendor = ServerVendor (dpy);
        /* Temporarily hide the partially initialized terminal */
        terminal_list = terminal->next_terminal;
        UNBLOCK_INPUT;
        terminal->kboard->Vsystem_key_alist
          = call1 (Qvendor_specific_keysyms,
                   vendor ? build_string (vendor) : empty_unibyte_string);
        BLOCK_INPUT;
        ...
      }

    terminal->kboard->next_kboard = all_kboards;
    all_kboards = terminal->kboard;

It's possible that garbage-collection occurs during the call1, when the
keyboard has not yet been put on the all_kboards linked list.  In that
case, it will not be protected from garbage collection.

Sven, does the following patch fix the bug?
