bug#62504: 30.0.50; SEGFAULT On M-x

[Jacob Faibussowitsch <jacob.fai@gmail.com>]

Looks like I jumped the gun on blaming the segfaults on 52b67740d10df8ca539fdc2c7d50283997683141. They still happen before it. Interestingly they only appear to happen if the `(wrong-number-of-arguments #<subr signal> 2)` error has not fired.

For example, my setup lazy-loads many packages (among them yasnippet and auto-complete) on an idle timer or eagerly if I invoke/reference an auto-loaded symbol. If I wait for the idle timer to lazy load e.g. yasnippet then I get `(wrong-number-of-arguments #<subr signal> 2)`. But if I try to eagerly load yasnippet via auto-load then I get a segfault instead.

I don’t know how to reliably reproduce this unfortunately...

Best regards,

Jacob Faibussowitsch
