It doesn't look like stack overflow, just typical heap corruption of
the sort that's very difficult to track down :-(. Someone may have
suggestions for instrumentation to help debug it in this case. Thanks
for the report, anyway.

It's not being applied to a Lisp_Object (which prints as a large
integer in gdb). [In other circumstances -- system-dependent -- you
can cure that error by using xreload if you have restarted Emacs in
the same gdb session.]
Unfortunately, gdb commands which dissect Lisp objects may not work
while a GC is in progress, because the tag bits aren't valid. I'm not
sure what will and will not work.
