I’m happy to perform tests and report any problems. It’s been stable so far. (I did report bug#74966, but it sounds from the investigation that it is unrelated to GC.) Thanks, that's very good news! > Thanks, and let me know how I can help! Perhaps try to use more the features which require signals, like profiler and sub-processes? Also, if you are used to start Emacs anew frequently, try instead to leave a session running for a long time (and use emacsclient for one-off jobs, if you need that). TIA
