Emacs crash in make bootstrap from CVS on Mac OS X

[chad Brown]

Attempting to `make bootstrap' on Mac OS X results in an emacs crash:

  ../src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload 
--eval '(setq generated-autoload-file 
"/Users/y/Project/emacs/lisp/loaddefs.el")' -f batch-update-autoloads

This has been happening for a few days.  Unfortunately, I'm about to 
leave town and I don't have time to investigate further right now.

Thanks,

Can you (or anybody else who experiences this) look around in
make_float to see why it crashed ?
If I got the line numbers right, it seems that float_free_list
is non-NULL but is pointing to an invalid address.  Is that
the case ?  What's the value of float_free_list ?
Could the bug be due to a problem during dump ?
Any relation to the freezedry_regions thing that was just fixed today ?
