Re: Emacs crashes, 07nov16

    I wonder if we are miscommunicating here.  Do you mean crash, as
    in abort or core dump?  Or do you just mean the breakpoint was
    hit?

I mean the instance vanishes.  No more GNU Emacs, and the information
I typed in recently is NOT saved.

This only happens in my regular font

    -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1

which has a size of 20.  (I am now using a less desireable font to
prevent such crashes.)

My test file has two mail messages in it, the first harmless, the
second tries to insert 

    (make-char 'latin-iso8859-15 164)

You should be able to reproduce the problem by setting the arguments
of a GDB with

 set args -i -q -fn '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1'

and then trying to insert a Euro symbol.
