Indeed if I revert term.c to revision 1.156, the problem goes away.

I tried but that value must come from stack corruption or some other
strangeness since in my tests, it always has reasonable values.. and
when the segfault occurs, it has the value 3 (in the one case I used to
reproduce the bug: entering gnu.emacs.gnus).

I will investigate further, any clues are welcome.

Also, I may be wrong, but it looks like the memory allocated in
encode_terminal_code is never freed.  Or is it GC'ed?
