OK.

I updated to

,----
| commit 96973dea40b4214fe645258be81ac19102fb246e
`----

and used

#+begin_src sh
  cd ~/ownCompiled/emacs 
  make clean
  make distclean
  CFLAGS="-ggdb3 -O0" CXXFLAGS="-ggdb3 -O0" LDFLAGS="-ggdb3" ./configure --enable-checking='yes,glyphs' --without-xml2
  make -j 6
  make install
#+end_src

to compile.

Then:

1) I started emacs under gdb 7.10,
2) loaded all buffers as usual in emacs
3) sourced .gdbinit and your code to enable logging and the additional
breakpoints

When starting to fold /unfold, a breakpoint is called and the session quit because of

,----
| Lisp Backtrace:
| [New Thread 0x1c3f of process 1855]
| Cannot access memory at address 0x2018400
`----

So this does not seem to help.

I don't think this matters here - but I have an older version of emacs
installed and it is before the new one in the path?

I tried running the whole gdb under root, but the same.

I tried it with running emacs -Q under gdb and I get the same:

,----
| Lisp Backtrace:
| Cannot access memory at address 0x9200
| (gdb)
`----

Any suggestions what I could do from here?
