When? :)
(after the crash, the process is gone, so can't M-x anything; before the
crash, there's nothing interesting to report :))
In case it's interesting, appended the info from r-e-b (from an emacs -Q
instance) to the bottom of this email.

(gdb) p it->current
$3 = {
  pos = {
    charpos = 1295,
    bytepos = 1295
  },
  overlay_string_index = 0,
  string_pos = {
    charpos = -1,
    bytepos = -1
  },
  dpvec_index = -1

Will do & report back in a few days (or sooner, if the bug recurs in HEAD).
