I attach four screenshots to illustrate what I'm doing. First I split the window via C-x 2 (tty_1.png). Now, using the mouse, I drag the lower edge of the terminal window up in order to shrink that window (tty_2.png). At some moment the edge can't be dragged any more (tty_3.png). Now I drag the edge down to enlarge the window again (tty_4.png). When at this moment I drag the edge once more down Emacs crashes. Which IIUC means that Emacs crashes at the time it wants to show the minibuffer window again. martin
