This segfault is here:
static void
reconsider_clip_changes (struct window *w)
{
struct buffer *b = XBUFFER (w->contents);
if (b->clip_changed
&& w->window_end_valid
&& w->current_matrix->buffer == b
&& w->current_matrix->zv == BUF_ZV (b)
&& w->current_matrix->begv == BUF_BEGV (b)) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
b->clip_changed = false;
So either w or b is a NULL or garbled pointer. Can you tell which
one? (Let me know if you need help with GDB commands to do that.)
Thanks.
