It seems to have crashed somewhere different from last time, and there
is nothing in the info you provide that gives me anything to work on.

Can you try to uncomment the following define in lisp.h:

/* #define GC_CHECK_CONS_LIST 1 */

Then recompile with

cd src
rm eval.o alloc.o
make emacs

and try to reproduce the crash.  Your emacs may run slower
after the change, but I think this is the only way to
narrow down the problem.

When it crashes, include the output from gdb commands

bt
xbacktrace

in the bug report.

Thanks.
