        M-x locate-library linum says:
 Library is file /usr/local/share/emacs/24.4.50/lisp/linum.elc
 Which is the one that comes with emacs. I removed that directory,
 recompiled and re-installed the latest emacs. There is no change in
 behaviour. This is Debian Sid,  also updated very recently.

        I do not get any return from debug-on-error or debug-on-quit set
 to t, All I get is a beep, and the error message in the nodeline and
 the *Messages* buffer.

        I am also seeing the same behaviour on my laptop, also running
 Debian unstable. This might be related to the undated gcc tool chain
 that has hit Debian, or this could be mere coincidence. I'll continue
 looking (the strace output is pretty noisy,)
