bug#24959: 26.0.50; cancel-timer: void-variable timer

[Oleg Sivokon]

Hello,
I've built Emacs from master, commit 0588164.  Intermittently, I'm
facing this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable timer)

  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)

Unfortunately, I don't know how to find the source, but I'm afraid that
there may be a problem with Lisp interpreter (there is no way `timer' is
unbound in `cancel-timer' because it's its argument).

This problem doesn't exist in Emacs 24.5.1
