crash in bidi_pop_it during (idle) redisplay

Emacs 24.2 regularly crashes on me with the backtrace below.  I usually
start it with "emacs --daemon" and then run one emacsclient on each of two
X servers (a local one on :0 and a remote one through
NX<http://www.nomachine.com/>).
 This setup will be up/stable for anywhere between an hour and a few days,
and then the server aborts dumping core like this.  FWIW, emacs-version
says:
GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw scroll bars)
and I built it using this this configuration:
--with-x-toolkit=lucid --with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif
--with-png --with-x --without-dbug --without-gconf

Possibly of note is that this happens when I'm not doing anything with
emacs (usually I'll come back to one of my workstations and find the emacs
process is gone and a corefile has shown up).  Both of the X servers in
question are much longer lived than the emacs processes involved.

Cheers,
