bug#15364: 24.3; git emacs segfault on loading local wubi phrases

[Eric Abrahamsen <eric@ericabrahamsen.net>]

I'm sending this report from emacs as it exists in archlinux's package
system, but it's actually for the git version of emacs (updated "Fri Sep
13 15:21:28 2013")

I find that git emacs segfaults when loading a local phrase file for the
wubi input method, which is an alternate Chinese-language input method
you can find here: http://daiyuwen.freeshell.org/gb/wubi/wubi.html

I am using the most recent version of the library found at that link.

Loading the library works fine, but wubi provides for keeping your own
file of input phrases, so as to customize input. In my case the file
looks like this:

;;;; Generated by Wubi input method. Please don't modify it.

(wubi-batch-add nil
"派出所"
"外国人"
"工期"
...
"心里有数"
"纠结"
"拍摄"

)

The file is 12,934 lines long, all of those lines contained within the
one sexp.

I'm not very familiar with the gdb debugger, but what I did was:

1. use my installed arch emacs as a "controlling" emacs
2. open a dired buffer on the src/ directory of the git emacs repository
3. run M-x gud-gdb
4. elect to run bootstrap-emacs with the -Q option
5. get the new emacs instance
6. load wubi, then load my local wubi files (by setting
`wubi-phrases-file-el' and then calling (wubi-load-local-phrases))
7. bootstrap-emacs hangs, segfault notice in the controlling emacs
8. call "backtrace" in the controlling emacs, get backtrace
9. post backtrace here: http://paste.lisp.org/+2Z7O

I'll also post the full backtrace below, in case that's easier.

Anyway, I hope that's enough. Feel free to contact me if more info is
necessary.

Thanks,
Eric
