Thanks for reporting that. It appears to be a bug in the garbage collector, and is likely to be hard to reproduce. I couldn't reproduce it, but I did a 'make bootstrap' on Fedora x86-64 (configured with --with-wide-int and compiled with gcc -m32 so it's really x86), and got a core dump in a completely different area that (of course!) went away when I compiled without optimization.

Rather than try to debug it directly, I thought about what might have caused the problem, and re-audited the garbage collector with the recent Qnil==0 changes in mind. This did uncover a bug, and the attached patch (which we will need anyway) allowed me to do a "make bootstrap" successfully in the same configuration. I installed this into the master as commit 93f4f67ba93b78e8b31e498e8ce7bce4c8298b76; please give it a try in your setup when you have the time.
