I've bisected now, but during my testing I realised that the problem didn't go away. Instead, it just took a bit longer to reproduce. I discovered that a very effective way to reproduce the issue is just to start several threads at the same time, so I simply extended the test case to the following: (require 'cl( (loop repeat 10 do (make-thread (lambda () (sit-for 5) (with-current-buffer "z" (insert "hello"))))) When running this test, I have gotten two different errors. One SIGSEGV and another being SIGABRT. I will include the stack traces for both test cases in the following two emails. Regards, Elias
