I don't think you need to bootstrap to have the version string
updated.  I think running `configure' is enough.

Bootstrapping is not crucial, but I'd prefer that you run `configure'
next time you build, and see if the problem persists.

Possibly.

Line 13693 of xdisp.c is this:

    while (/* not marched to end of glyph row */

This cannot possibly crash.

Was this an abort or a SIGSEGV?  If the latter, which variable around
line 13693 is invalid?  Is it `glyph' or `row'?
