Hi Alex,

I rechecked the issue with my new hardware (got a new laptop meanwhile).
The issue does not occur for the files attached on the bug report anymore.

As I suspect that it has something to do with large memory allocation, I produced some larger files

with an python script. I tested it on my machine still with etags (GNU Emacs 23.1) and gave the files

to a collegue, who tested it with etags (GNU Emacs 24.3). On both etags crashed for test_seg.c.

Hi, do you still encounter this issue? I tried to reproduce with Emacs
24.5 but both files did not segfault for me.
