Reverting 108048 (and 108020, see below) will cause trouble to any system that uses ralloc.c, including (evidently) OpenBSD. The fact that the problem was originally found only during bootstrap on Window= s is just a coincidence. It can strike at any time that regexp search is used in a text that includes characters which need unification. It's a bomb waiting to explode. So I don't recommend that. Of course, Emacs 24.1 was shipped with that bug, so ... Can I have a 1-day grace to try debugging the OpenBSD crash? J=C3= =A9r=C3=A9mie generously gave me a login on the machine where it happened, and I'd like a chance to try debugging it. > Also, if we revert 108048, should we revert 108020 (which is in 24.= 1) as > well? Could you explain what problem 108020 causes which 108048 is > supposed to fix? Does it have symptoms? 108020 had a logic flaw in the incrementing and decrementing the flag that inhibits relocation. Due to that flaw, the inhibition was not really working beyond the first time. 108048 fixed that part. And yes, these two revisions go together.
