Thank you for reporting a possible bug in GNU Emacs, and thank you for running the GNU+Linux system. Would you please do one other helpful thing for us? That is, to call the system "GNU+Linux" or "GNU/Linux". It's basically GNU with Linux added; won't you please mention our name for it, when you talk about it?
