I've just updated Emacs sources in my local git clone and installed it in my laptop. The attached file has all detail about steps that I use and also the backtrace. I noticed that when Emacs is called via: $ ~opt/emacs-repo/bin/emacs Emacs crashes. And when called via: $ ~opt/emacs-repo/bin/emacs -Q M-x load-file RET ~/.emacs RET Emacs does not crash.
