Can we please get rid of the memory allocation (in load_charset_map) during a call to maybe_unify_char, which already caused trouble during release of 24.2? I had a couple of crashes in Emacs 24.2 lately, all of them inside ralloc.c. I'm currently trying a change that could avoid the crashes, but I think the ultimate fix would be not to disable relocation at all, as ralloc.c was probably not really designed for that. Perhaps Handa-san could describe what would it take to get rid of maybe_unify_char, or at least the large memory allocation inside it? Then we could decide whether I or someone else could do that in time, if Handa-san cannot. TIA.
