Thanks.
I can't reproduce this, but I'm not on X11. What happens here is that
after many "C-x C-= C-=" presses, the minibuffer (whose contents
becomes illegible long before that) starts blinking, and I need to C-g
out of it (or C-x C-c to kill Emacs). This seems harmless enough,
since the enlarged font is not useful past the point where the
minibuffer no longer shows the minibuffer text.
Can you run this under GDB, and when Emacs crashes, type
(gdb) thread apply all bt
and post everything GDB produces as result?
