Now we are getting closer!!!

Unfortunately, not quite close enough, as I don't see any of the
involved functions modifying anything related.  So I have just
installed patches to alloc.c and eval.c to check the cons list even
more rigidly.

Can you please update from CVS and rerun the test.
Include bt and xbacktrace in the report.

Have you made any local customizations of ediff faces or anything similar?
Please include a copy.


It might be byte-compiler related, but it is hard to say.

What does
     ls -l lisp/edif* lisp/fac*
print?

What happens if you don't use byte-compiled ediff?
Try adding this to your .emacs and rerun the test:

(load "ediff-init.el")
(load "ediff-diff.el")
