My assessment of the situation was that Emacs got an
unsuccessful malloc or realloc and didn't notice it. When Emacs gets NULL
on these it should abort or some such whether there has been a low memory
warning or not, and apparently it just continued.
Emacs normally calls xmalloc, which tests for failure. But in that
case it calls plain malloc. I changed it to call xmalloc in that
case.
Does that fix the problem?
