crashes on x86_64

[Reiner Steib]

Hi,

during the last few days (I didn't build for about one month, so the
problem might have started earlier), Emacs built on x86_64 (AMD 64
bit) crashes quite often (several times per day).

Here's some gdb output:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 182940272320 (LWP 31751)]
make_uninit_multibyte_string (nchars=10, nbytes=10) at 
[...]/emacs/src/alloc.c:1884
1884      string_free_list = NEXT_FREE_LISP_STRING (s);

(gdb) bt full

The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.
GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.
To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on"
Evaluation of the expression containing the function (debug_print) will be 
abandoned.
