Has Rawhide incorporated some of Florian Weimer's malloc patches? If so, this is almost surely causing the problem. I will CC: Florian to give him a heads-up. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00211.html https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19564 I am surprised that you can use valgrind. Valgrind does not work on Emacs in Fedora 23 because it mishandles the way Emacs dumps and restores. I can use Valgrind only on temacs, not on Emacs itself. The fact that you can use Valgrind on a dumped Emacs suggests that some of the malloc patches have been installed on Rawhide. For what it's worth, when I try to use valgrind on Fedora 23, I run into what appears to be a valgrind bug that prevents Emacs from working. I just now filed it here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344082 I ran valgrind as follows: valgrind --log-fd=3 --suppressions=valgrind.supp ./temacs 3>/tmp/vg.log with the attached valgrind.supp file, and Emacs (emacs-25 branch, built with 'configure --with-x=no') says "Failed select: Bad address" due to the valgrind bug. How do you use valgrind on Rawhide?
