And a strace confirms that emacs does various things, apparently due to /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/vc/vc-git.elc for git directories. I couldn't reproduce the crash with strace and -Q, but I could reproduce it with: strace -f -o str.out /usr/bin/emacs24 -q foo I'm attaching the strace output (compressed with xz). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
