The problem is of course that this is the `current buffer', which is
changed quite often, and I cannot reliably reproduce this bug.
However, it should be possible to locate the last few changes when it
crashes. I will have a check.

No. Remember, this is an EMACS_INT:
(gdb) p 537002092
$1 = 537002092
(gdb) xint
$2 = 131180
131kB is not unusual for a NNTP process buffer while reading news.
