Since the connection is relatively slow, and I was forward typing, I do not know exactly what were the last commands. However, this reminds me of a similar crash that I experienced some months ago in a similar situation. Today I have no time to try to debug it, and I do not expect to have much in the next days. Here is a backtrace: What I can tell anything from the backtrace alone is that PT is screwed up, not between BEGV and ZV. I suspect that quitting out of insert-file-contents left the data inconsistent. However, I can't be sure none of your type-ahead was executed. If you can make this happen again, you could use recent_keys to see how much of your input actually got executed.
