Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When I was editing files (LaTeX sources, with global-font-lock t)
emacs is aborting sporadically by itself. Size of the file is about 25k.

I can't not describe any pattern for that aborting, it would happen during
editing, or when I am away from keyboard.

This and the other stack trace he sent shows a crash inside x_get_local_selection. That function, and x_handle_selection_request where it is called from, has local Lisp_object:s but no GCPRO. Isn't that needed? I am not sure.

Just a thought.
