Yes, thanks: I fixed that by using the following instead in the
version that I checked into the Emacs trunk:

Lisp_Object *staticvec[NSTATICS] = {&Vpurify_flag};

As I understand it, the bug does not always occur: it depends on the
layouts of the earlier segments.  So it's possible that Eric's patch
happened to fix the problem for his particular alignment, even though
it shouldn't fix the problem in general (and didn't work for me).

Yes, that's what happened with me too.
