Oh, how... obvious. I shouldn't respond to these when exhausted.
Ooo:
(gdb) xsymbol it->string
$2 = (struct Lisp_Symbol *) 0xb81a20
There is no member named data.
(gdb) print *((struct Lisp_Symbol *) 0xb81a20)
$3 = {
gcmarkbit = 0,
redirect = SYMBOL_PLAINVAL,
constant = 1,
interned = 2,
declared_special = 0,
xname = 8697697,
val = {
value = 12065314,
alias = 0xb81a22,
blv = 0xb81a22,
fwd = 0xb81a22
},
function = 12065266,
plist = 38661286,
next = 0x0
}
(gdb) print/x Qnil
$6 = 0xb81a22
So this is clearly actually a forwarded or buffer-localized nil
variable, but redirect has become corrupted so that Emacs thinks,
incorrectly, that it's a value. Right?
