Hello!
The attached backtrace is running the same Emacs version (e6013e8c) but
with your patch applied.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
mark_object (arg=140737488314368) at alloc.c:6187
6187 if (ptr->gcmarkbit)

Anything else I can try to narrow it down more? :-)

Regards,
Jorgen
