Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot
Steps to reproduce:
1. touch blah.txt
2. emacs blah.txt
3. RET
Result: emacs crashes; terminal says "illegal instruction".
Some notes:
* emacs had been working just fine on this machine for many months. I don't
know what changed.
* Reproduceability is 100%.
* There are many customizations in my ~/.emacs.d directory; however, I can
elicit this behaviour both with my normal configuration and after deleting
~/.emacs.d . In other words, it isn't my customizations that are doing this.
* There are many other input sequences that cause this behaviour. For example,
if editing a Python file, Ctrl-C Ctrl-C (to run the file in the interactive
Python window) causes the crash. However, I haven't tested this in the
"no-.emacs.d" state, and the above sequence is the *simplest* way I've found to
cause the crash.
