Neither can I.

Sam, does your build use ralloc.c?  Also, are you sure this change
causes the problem?  Note that Paul pushed a follow-up change after
that: do you have it in your tree?

Sam, please run the failed command under GDB, put a breakpoint in
args_out_of_range, and show the C and Lisp backtrace when this error
happens.  (If args_out_of_range is called more than once, then please
make sure you are showing the correct instance, e.g. by looking at the
"processed NN%" lines.)
